Introduction

The media have a strong influence on people. Media are able to distort and alter reality. The aim of this blog is to show different examples of media distortion and their operation. Not much attention has been given in terms of an investigation concerning this topic. Although people do not merely absorb media information and media content in a passive way there is still a lack of sufficient reflection. The tendency to take the given information as an irrefutable fact is dominant. However, there are also exceptions to this state. In the following, the concentration will base on some recent media’s distortions and revealing their actual truth behind the matter. Since people do not handle information critically enough, it is important to illustrate the point that media content should not be taken in thoughtlessly. Thus, this blog wants to create a higher awareness of the media’s distortion techniques and encourage its readers to form their own opinion about current issues.
