Week of November 5 - November 11: #3

One section that I found quite interesting was Credibility of News Coverage. I found it very sad that the news media seems to only tell us information that keeps us watching. It seems that half of Americans don't trust news coverage and many believe that they are biased. There is no way of finding out if that's true, but we do know that they get more money if there are more viewers. Sadly, there are people out there who don't care what they have to do receive better benefits. This section also goes on to talk about reporters exaggerating specific details in a story or even taking certain parts out to keep the news interesting. This is not fair to people watching the news - they want to watch it so that they can get real information. People actually want to know what's going on around the world and if news reporters can't tell them that, then who can?
