The media

At 40 years old I have a completely different perspective than I did when I was 20. I believe I am only starting to truly learn the power of media. I used to eat up the information being fed to me. Now, I do my own research and compare the information being reported by multiple sources.

I've found that the news changes based on the media outlet reporting the situation. It really became apparent during the 2016 Presidential election. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, all have different perspectives. In my opinion instead of telling people how they should think, they should instead report data. Let the people interpret the information themselves. It is obvious that CNN is heavily Democrat while Fox is Republican. The hosts for each of these networks were hired because they share the vision of the people that run each network.
