The Accuracy of News Reports We watch the news everyday, trusting broadcasters, that they are giving us the correct information. We are forced to view the story only through eyes of the broadcasters. We can change the channel but most of the broadcasters are providing us with the same view. When watching the news we should ask ourselves is both sides of the story being told? What is the purpose of the report? We should distinguish weather or not the information is accurate instead of trusting the media. News reports are created so people watch them, not to provide facts of a situation, so we must be careful at all times.
