Consider whether your classmate’s assessment is similar or different and whether this impacts your initial opinion on the article.
My quote:
According to a new Gallup poll, trust in mass media in the United States is lower than it has ever been since the organization started asking that question in 1972 (Mathew 1).  I like this post because it makes a claim that goes against what I believe in. Since social media provides unlimited and often unverifiable news, mass media should be the place to run to for authentic news, which means that trust in mass media should be higher than it has ever been. This view is supported by Guess et al., who state that trust in mainstream media has increased in the last couple of years.

My classmates’ posts: 

“The click economy has driven traditional, mainstream media outlets to focus on quick hits and viral stories, even ifthey have little truth to them (Mathew 1).

because she finds it interesting how social media has made a great impact on the news we see on TV today. The overallstructure of news outlets has shifted to todays preferred news rather than focusing on what is happening intodays world such as global warming, crime, and natural disasters.


Do we trust those news sources that tell the truth, or do we trust the ones that tell us what we want to hear or believe? (Matthew 2)     Because he finds that this question assumes that there are news sources that present the truth without being tainted by bias. There is no way to know which version of a story is true due to the attempts to try to support a specific narrative. I think to be most informed; we need to look at news sources that tell us what we do not want to believe and those that do.
