No matter how much information Americans are bombarded with each day by the media, radio, newspapers, radios, or magazines, I don’t think Americans are actually getting the real news they need to know. The information presented to us nowadays isn’t just a report but is actually a report characterized by an opinion. This is the kind of problem that Phil Dodson addressed in his “Who is a journalist?” and Cal Thomas likewise in his ‘Radio free America”. I agree with both of them in their understanding of how the information abundantly presented to us each day is directly pre-chosen, pre-opinioned, and pre-viewed by most reporters. An example of this would be like in Dodson’s remark about a mayor who committed suicide and then a reporter telling a very obnoxious, hateful, and obviously opinionated story of this mayor on the radio. I agree with Dodson in that while it is fine for people to express their views and speak their mind, it is not okay for them to tell a true-life story based on how they think it should be told and examined. Likewise I also agree with Cal Thomas’ view of illegitimate way that people, not just Americans, are presented with reports and information from a government who only let them hear these reports in order for them to strengthen their own government, meaning they twist stories and report them in such a fashion as to make sure the people have no other opinion than theirs. In any case, I believe that if someone wants to report about what’s going on in the world, he should do so by stating the facts without any trace of opinion or pre-chosen view that might set the mind of the reader to think in that opinion too.
