The media is greatly influenced by big business. How do we know?

We can easily see how the media is influenced by big business. How can we see it? By the many people who have been de-platformed, and by the numbers of articles and videos being censored.

What could the media do if they were honest, but simply didn't like the opinion of somebody? They could simply set up one or more sections in their systems, where they could place what they considered to be junk news or fake news.

They could even make rating system algorithms that sorted items into a bunch of categories, depending on how fake or junk they thought it was. Nobody would have to be censored or de-platformed.

So, we can see from this that most of the major media companies don't fairly control the material they show.

You make a really intriguing argument concerning the nature of "news" itself. It is true that what constitutes "news" is always changing, and various individuals have different perspectives about what is noteworthy. When it comes to news, it appears that the distinction between subjectivity and are at odds. On the one hand, we want news that is impartial and factual. On the other hand, we want the news to be compelling and informative. It's a difficult balance to achieve. Additionally, algorithms are employed to select what news is presented to us on social media and other channels. However, algorithms might be prejudiced, reinforcing our pre-existing views and preferences. This may make it tough to develop a system that's honest and consistent.

Op you are correct about the media, but one thing you should know about media, they are also a business in another dimension, they welcome everything to increase their customers. Another thing about the media they give more attention to the highest bidder mostly the government and high classic individual who influenced them with their wealth, it doesn't matter weather what they received to pass to the public is Worth to be dispossessed as news but since they have been paid has no option to do so

Naturally allot of deviation has happened within the media system, this has make most media not credit worthy mostly in my nation were media become a tools for lying to the public by the politicians and all sort of defense for wrong doing.

Op just as you have Said the media need restrategize by creating way out of removing all manner of junk to enable their information gain more strength and draw more attention of the public as for me I don't listen to news mostly coming from our national Media as it always turn out junk.

We need honest media which we all know doesn't exist today because of the people behind them and they only publish events that have some negative effect on their enemies such as crime rates in the government opposition territories and others. They are even using it to brainwash people and make them believe thousands of lies and also manipulate them to be busy on some unbeneficial things by sugarcoating some activities that have nothing to do with how to improve a person's lifestyle or how to make themselves a role model for his countrymen rather they promote malicious trends and hypes on the internet.

It is sad to say that most of the media often publish false and fake news.  They keep promoting fake news with different headlines for the views.  Moreover, they promote various products through advertisements, which look true for some time, but in reality they are not very effective.  And many times there are false news about big people.  Moreover, most of the media, when the party is in power i.e. the political party in power, gives news in favor of them and spreads various lies and propaganda about the opposition party.  But it is not like that in the media of all countries.  Good and bad media.  Not the false propaganda that all news channels do.  News channels keep running false campaigns for views.

Much of the information in the media is wrong but essential and fake news is rampant as fake news fabricated news motivated news rumours and violent videos dominate social media today. Even business groups are purposefully using social media to their advantage. Every day we see news, videos on social media which may or may not be true. But social media users spread it without any scrutiny due to an invisible competition.
