Helped us achieve this "golden" age

Anyone who says mas accurate ang social media at mga vloggers kesa sa totoong news outlets at journalist ay isa't kalahating......

Media manipulation (traditional media and social media) is a growing concern in today's world. The deliberate use of false or misleading information to influence public opinion and shape public discourse has become rampant. It is used to manipulate people into believing something that isn't true and create an atmosphere of fear and distrust.
 

The rise of social media has made it easier for those with malicious intent to spread false information quickly and easily, making it even more important for us to be aware of the potential dangers posed by media manipulation.

Growing? Manipulative media has always been there. It preys on the stupid segment of the voting population (also has always been there.) It gave rise to stupid elections for the likes of Marcos Sr, Erap, Duterte, and again Marcos.

Goyims ang nagkocontrol ng media outlet sa buong mundo. Kaya minsan nakakatawa na lang ang mga binabalita nila na kung minsan wala nang sense yung hinahatid nilang balita. 😌

I imagine all dutertards and marcosians here to be cut from the same cloth as that dimwit rend0n labrad0r. That's the kind of guy you get to debate with here. Talk about pointless.

Media is also corrupt in a smaller scan than politics.. Self interest  din same as politicians.

Marketing is such a billion dollar industry.  Influences consumers tenfolds

Mass media, whether mainstream or online is always double edged. Unfortunately, we are in an era where it had been more on the manipulative side. They report things which will advance their agenda. They feed their ideas or opinions to the recipients. Anything that is reported becomes gospel truth even if there are manipulations. A passive bystander or politician becomes the hero and claims the credit while the hero/actual proponent goes unrecognized. Some news are blocked liked the secret meeting of an opposing political party abroad which may affect the Philippines. Just like. any field, an. ethics committee is just a wallflower to assure the public of fairness and impartiality, which we know is just a fantasy. Video snippets of events are presented according to how it will advance a network's agenda. 

In the countryside, radio shows and commentaries are warmly accepted by the people their. The opinions of the broadcaster becomes the opinion of the recipients. Most will no longer analyze it with their situation. Maybe the presenters should encourage the recipients to form their own opinions based on the presented news with their actual observations. 

Media is also being utilized in promoting consumerism in a bad way. It is inculcating in the minds of the people that one has to buy and own some things that may not be essential. People tend to consume unneeded item to fit the norm.

Well sometimes you need to do research pa para malaman katutuhanan.

[Sterben17]

Research is always the key if nagdoubt ka sa balita. If nagdoubt ka sa naresearch mo, try ulit humanap ng ibang source, kapag nagdoubt ka pa din kahit halos lahat ng sources na nakita mo iisa lang sinabi, sayo na may mali.

[KaiSir16]

Media is just there to make us aware of issues. Its always up to the person to do further research on the topic para di ka magkaroon ng doubt. Kaya importante ang makapag tapos at maka aral sa matinong paaralan.

There is no such thing as biased journalism unless it delibirately supresses facts. There's a reason why it was called a watchdog
