politics… real or fake news?
this online article from msnbc.msn.com caught my attention because it analyzes how little we as a population have gained from 24/7 TV news. the survey cited says that if anything, we are less aware of basic facts about our government leaderships, and more aware of politically-related drama. this analysis reveals how 24/7 news channels fill up their time slots, and forces readers to reconsider whether information surrounding politics is really news or just government-related celebrity gossip.
