The Proposition The media is everywhere, but it can be difficult to determine what an accurate picture of reality is. With all big companies, telling people the whole truth is not as important as protecting their economic interests. End The Lie leaves you with unanswered questions, while questioning the information given. However, the New York Times' take on the Russian proposal to place Syria's chemical weapons under international control is more in-depth and reliable than the alternative source End The Lie. The End The Lie article uses the media manipulation method, False Balancing because there was a lot more mocking of the situation or questioning of President Obama than giving real information to the reader. It was easy to see that the journalist was against the attack on Syria. End The Lie mocked the situation, saying that over the past few days there had been a number of "encouraging signs" that the crisis could be resolved politically. Videos that accompanied the article showed protesters chanting outside the White House as President Obama delivered his speech. The video of the protesters was placed in the article to help the alternative source indirectly express their opinion on the situation in Syria by directing the reader to listen to the chants. Another example of an alternative source indirectly inserting one's opinion is the use of a video with a journalist named Meghan Lopez. She said there were more questions in the speech than answers during President Obama's speech. On the other hand, the New York Times article gave a lot of detailed information about Shelton 2 with reliable quotes. It was more of a favorite of President Obama...in the middle of the paper...the source didn't try to appeal to the reader's emotions or make it seem like he was "one of the people" . Media views on issues of human importance may differ depending on the source. The only way to determine what is reliable is to not rely on just one source. Every mainstream and alternative article announces their opinion rather than the truth to help protect their own economic interests. The truth is a constant that stands the test of time, whereas a fabricated lie dies with time. Having multiple sources can help you better understand the information. However, an alternative source does not give you what is necessary to make the article trustworthy by not giving you more information and having anonymous sources. Between the New York Times and End The Lie, the New York Times had the most reliable and detailed information..
