The media

I have been wondering how the media influences our thought and the situations in the world, in the United States the media is manly concerned of the number of the viewers they get. As a consequence they air those new that attract the viewer`s eyes such as the news of Iraq. The media is a source of our understanding of the world and if it`s unreliable, how can we understand the world clearly? In addition to the fact, most of the news stems from the same source such as AP wire survices, therefore, it`s really difficult to get the news that viewed the world events from the different point of view. I think we have to revolutionalize the media and out use of it.
