News: Should Someone Always Pay Attention To The Same News Source?



When someone has the urge to find out about what is taking place in the world, there is a strong chance that they will have a certain news source that they go to. This could be a source of information that they have followed for most of their life.

Since the beginning of their life, they may have had one source that they have also gone to. There is the chance that the people around them during this time also paid attention to this source.

A Habit

Therefore, there is going to be no reason for them to think about what they will do when they need to be informed. The desire will arise and they could soon come into contact with the information they need.

Naturally, this is going to save them a lot of time, as they won't need to think about what do to. At the same time, there is also the chance that the source of information one pays attention to wasn't around when they were younger.

The Internet

What this can come down to is that they look toward an online source when they want to find out about what is going on in the world. And this source might not have been around for very long.

This could mean that one will only pay attention to this online source and no longer pay attention to anything else. In their eyes, this could be seen as the only one that can be trusted.

Another Approach

Alternatively, one could have a number of online and offline sources that they are drawn to. As a result, they could spend time reading the paper and looking through an online news site.

In general, the easiest thing for one to do will probably be to go online and to be informed that way. Through having some kind of device, they won't need to buy a paper or to watch TV, for instance.

Letting Go

When one has paid attention to a news source for a certain period of time and they trust this source, they can be happy to sit back and to accept everything they are told. There is then going to be no need for them to question anything, and this will save them a lot of energy.

One could find that they have enough going on in their life without needing to do someone else's job. If they were to do this, it would take their focus away from other areas of their life.

Support

What could also play a part here, is that one could have a number of friends who also look towards the same source as them. In fact, this could be a source of information that most people seem to look towards.

This can then be taken as a sign that they have the right approach, and there might not be anyone around them to tell them otherwise. Based on this outlook, whether something is true or not will be seen as something that all depends on how many people believe it.

A Deeper Level

Even so, this doesn't mean that one will see that a lot of people follow the same as source as them and then come to the conclusion that this shows they are being told the truth. This is likely to be something that will take place without them even thinking about it.

At times, what they are told by this source of information is going to be the truth, but at other times, it might not be. However, if one only pays attention to this source of information, how will they know?

Control

It is then not going to be hard for the people behind this source to control what one believes about the world. The only thing they will need to do is to talk about something and it will be seen as the truth.

If one was to hear this, they could say that this wouldn't take place as they only exist to inform people. On one hand, there is the chance that this is true and, on the other, it might not be.

Fallible

Yet, regardless of whether a news source exists to deceive people, it doesn't mean that they can always be trusted. At the end of the day, the people who present the news are not perfect, and this means that they will make mistakes from time to time.

It is then going to be in one's best interest to question what they are being told, as opposed to going along with it. This will take more effort, but it will allow one to have a more accurate idea of what is actually going on around them.

All Sources

If one only pays attention to the alternative media, they may believe that this is different. Thus, unlike the mainstream media, this source of information is the only one can that be trusted.

This is then going to make one an easy target, as even this source is not always going to present the truth. But unless one realises this, they will have stopped themselves from being controlled by one source only to be controlled by another.

Conclusion

What this emphasises is how important it is for people to think for themselves, and not to get caught up in whether it is coming from the mainstream media or the alternative media. It also doesn't matter how many people pay attention to something, as this doesn't define whether it is true or not.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
