Can You Believe What You Read? - Part III
Over the past few weeks we've examined this question from several angles. In Part I we looked at print media, with a special examination of Salisbury's Daily Times. If there was ever a poster child for the need to read critically (and sceptically), the Daily Times is it. In Part II we examined the blogosphere. As expected, there are problems. However, as we have demonstrated, the print media have a tough time claiming the "moral high ground" (with the exception of a relatively few instances in the blogosphere).
Today we look at radio and television. More importantly, we need to look within. Do we want to be informed, or merely affirmed? If we truly want to be informed, what can we do?
The TV media doesn't seem at all interested in local elections.
