Is the media giving us the true picture on Covid?

Statement

Main stream media appear to be slanted in its presentation of data and facts regarding Covid.

 

There has been a rise of what is known as ‘narratives’, this is the process of a slanted theme and tone running through stories rather than being objective in its coverage.

 

This is largely the result of corporate interests using the media as an advanced form of brand management and marketing. Governments have also become large purchases of advertising. They are effectively using the media as another mouthpiece. This is problematic as one of the roles of the media is to keep checks on the governments.

Conclusion

Conclusion: We are now in a situation where it is not possible to believe what we see in the media. A discerning eye must be cast when viewing to question the information. With the main stream media it is even more problematic as they appear to be operating to an agenda which is governed by the corporate interests that own and govern the media companies.
