Don't let the media kidnap our eyes.

What you see is what the media wants you to see.

You should have discovered long ago that our lives are completely inseparable from the media.
Whether it is a national TV station or a self-media account created by a person, we get a lot of news from it every day, but have you ever thought that every word in it is sent to you after they have edited it?
Do we know what is true?
What is true? The problem is simple. The tree is real, the sky is real, and the boss who asks himself to work every day is real.
So another question, what news is true?
A student was bullied by classmates at school, but the media may not report his skin color. A country has been tortured by COVID-19, but the media may not report on the more serious reality of their country. Not to mention text, pictures, and videos can all be re-created through post-production.
If you don't invest your time to explore, the latter part of the news will not even be known to you in your whole life, so can we still distinguish what is true and what is false?
We have been pursuing freedom all our lives, but when all you see are prepared by others, is the so-called freedom still true freedom?Don't use the media to understand the world, use your own eyes and actions.
