News and Media

These days it's hard to separate news from media in the sense that people look at certain sites that agree with their opinions, and they don't consider anything else. I also feel that the news has become very much like social media, such as Facebook, where people blindly scroll through the information and don't actually soak anything in. I have one friend in particular that will be scrolling through Facebook on her phone, but if you ask her what she's looking at she doesn't know and she doesn't even realize she's mindlessly scrolling through. I think the news is a lot like that because people will go right past a lot of important information and latch on to only one quote or photo- usually something negative.
