Braindead Megaphone

I agree with Saunders that our media tends to be all for publicity and not based solely on content. I also think that that is just a majority of our media, and our must trusted media, there are other media sources that are not out there just as entertainment pieces and out there as close to raw information as you can get.

I think that Saunders used a good metaphor with the megaphone man, it showed that the media plays an overwhelming part of the way we form our own opinions, and sometimes without us actually knowing it. We go around everyday forming opinions in which we think are our own but are really based off others opinions they think are their own.

I think this essay showed me more of what I had already known about the media. That the media twists something that may be true and that people should know, to something that they believe readers or viewers would rather hear. Also the media is competing with other media, meaning each wants to have the more interesting story at the end of the day rather than the most informative or truthful story.
