Entry #3 Hidden Facts
News networks are one of the most watched channels in the United Stats; However, they are seen as the most reliable place to get information on current events, but often they will lie to their viewers. thousands of people tune into news networks like Fox news or CNN every day to find out what is going on in the world today. these networks promise to give its viewers the truth about the world, but they will hide information, manipulate, and completely change the truth.
Fox news receives around 2.8 million on average total viewers every day, and other news channels get around the same. The networks thrive on the on their viewership, and they will do pretty much anything to keep people coming back and watching. There have been few cases where they will lie, and hide information from prying eyes of the public to serve their agenda. an example would have to be a when then the election for president was going on, CNN would try to keep any negative topics or facts about Hillary from getting out. They would also give negative information on Trump; however, Fox news did the same for Trump. Another example would have to be when they lie about the weather.
I believe there are at least two different ways this issue could be fixed. One would have the networks to stop hiding all the information, but this option is least likely to happen. Due to how much money the networks make off their current strategy. The second option is the views need to do the research themselves; however, this might be the harder option due to how lazy our society has become. Another option is to have a network that has an unbiased option, and only willing to show the facts.
