According to the essay by Martin Kaplan, "Welcome to the Infotainment Freak Show" He states that the media is not reporting news that can inform people of revelant information. Kaplan states "news" isn't news nowadays, the media worry about bringing entertainment,so they can accummulating more audiences so they would have higher ratings, with this it brings more money. Martin Kaplan writes,"That media will report about someone who is famous,just to hold and grab the audiences attention. He also report that the internet is what people relie on these days, but how do we know if this offcial information.
I agree with Martin Kaplan, I think that the media does focus more on the rich and famous, like Paris Hilton for instances, how she had to turn herself into jail. I think America media has lost their focus on the real life issues. Like how the economy is declining each day, people are losing their jobs, and becoming homeless.
I think America needs to come back to reality and deal with the issues that at hand.By reading this essay it made me realize how the media can persude you to believe that other things is important.
