Other Groups' final presentations

I found other groups' presentations to be extremely interesting. I think they did some great jobs in tying together the points of this semester into key concise subject matters. I like how the first group touched upon total information awareness and propaganda. In today's society we are fed illusory information that almost tends to brainwash us. If you go home and turn on the news there is nothing but the same thing on TV every single day. The government feeds us propaganda all the time. There is no progress in the government but all that we hear is the Russia Collusion story. That's not news but just information meant to persuade our opinion about our leaders in a very bias manner and is shoved in our face every day.



Other groups went on to speak about the mainstream media and channel news classifications. I found this to be very interesting because it just emphasized my above point about how news channels are supposed to be unbiased but rather lately have been very picky in choosing a side that financially betters their station. I remember a day when you could turn on the news and hear about things going on around the world but lately its just been a ton of garbage. I like how the team listed out a ton of right and left classifications of the news stations because there was not one channel for the most part that is mainstream media that was in the middle (as all should be).

Nevertheless I can only hope that one day news channels revert the way that they used to be and tell factual stories that vary that pique my interest. All the news is doing now is brainwashing the public and just rotting our brains, plain and simple.
