Media fake or not

When I think about if the media fail's to challenge the claims made by our politicals leader to attempt their original purpose being In a democracy, journalism has three basic and necessary functions: to provide an accounting of people in power and those with designs on power to provide and ensure a diversity of opinions on important issues so that citizens can form their own opinions to check facts, assure for accuracy, and point out lies. does the media execute these three necessary functions and challenge them as well, when needed. I think that the media stills fails to challenge the claims that are made my our political leader, I  think this is because our current political leader is so out to regress that the media, in the beginning, was so intrigued by him that, they wanted more they enjoyed his outrageous claims aka fake news. I believe that he is currently are the political leader because the media gave him enough press to his fake news claims even though in my opinion it was bad press it gave him enough attention that people became interested in him. With that being said I think that now some media are started to questions some of his claims he throws out there. Which is cause his to get defensive and claim that the news networks that are questioning him are so-called fake news. Their was a recently a news reported that commented on this exactly claim 


This is an example of how some media is starting to get tired of our Political leader claims and are pointing them out. I believe that this is just the beginning of the media to start questioning the claims made by our political leader.

video game violence


There has been many mass shootings in my opinion due to gun violence that is a result of emphasis on militarism in video games. i also believe that the video game marketing weapons through their product.There is one person that comes to mind when i think about an example of this, the shooting of Anders Breivik.  “Anders Breivik said he actually used his video game ‘Call of Duty’ to train for mass murder,”  Dr. Paul Weigle, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Joshua Center, in Enfield, Conn., told FoxNews.com. “He called it training simulation. And certainly there were some reports Adam Lanza saw Breivik as a rival, and he was also engaged in shooting games and even the same one. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/09/12/training-simulation-mass-killers-often-share-obsession-with-violent-video-games.html. With that being said i think that these video games are not the main reason for there violent crimes, their mental health i believe plays a huge factor , but i do think the video did contribute at little bite.

 Happy violence to me is when some sort of violence that is not moralize but the media is trying to bring it to are attention but not explain its consequences. Some example that i think of that this is shown on television is 60 minutes as well as recently there was a show called the The people v. O.J. Simpson:American Crime Story. I think that this shows happy violence because this was a based on a husband possibly murdering his wife,but because the husband was a famous football player it became a huge televised case. This is normally not a situation where people would be amusing to but because the media created an out look for us it case Americans to want more.The media as showed the speed chase of O.J. live this speed chase was what stared the media to broadcast speed chase now. I believe that by them showing this speed chase it made it seem cool to run away from the cop's. Overall the media make this murder case to come of glamorous.    



60 minutes as so shows this but making us curious on how these murder cases when taken place.This also creates us to think this is normal and happening more often then it is really is. Created Americans to believe the world is more dangerous than it really is .

post two media owns

Now Looking  at the channels I watch ,which are  Bravo , ABC CNBC, E, VH1, and CBS.Their are many company that  controls their messages. Going into more depth into these channels.Walt Disney owns ABC their revenue is 40.1 billion dollars which i think is crazy that their over all revenue it hat high some other channels that are owned my them are ESPN and Lifetime. Bravo, E and CNBC is owned by Comcast Corporation their revenue is 55.8 billion dollars. They are the largest cable company shows  and residential internet service provider and one of the worlds biggest producers of TV shows and motion picture now reaching almost every home in America. they hold 23.6 million cable subscribers. CBS is owned my CBS corporation they own anything that's has CBS as well as Warner brother, their revenue is 14.2 billion dollars. Lastly Viacom organization owns VH1 also Bet , their revenue is 14.9 billion dollars they are the 4 largest media conglomerate the control over 160 network reaching 60 million people . Now that  i have more of a clear understanding that there'are 10 main organizations that own the TV market i can now see how everything we are expose to is to get a larger picture or statement out. by seeing what network are under the same organization i can see how they are owned my the same company their show are very similar to one other just just on a different channel but just about the same story or topic. I am now curious, if the networks where allowed to have more freedom what the would produce. For example Netflix is privately owned and the shows they produce are so different its not like your main stream show which i think is why they do so well .
