What I Learned

Ok,
So in class on Thurs. we learned about how some big name companies are making news stories that are then sent to braodcast stations. I don't know how to feel about this. These big time companies filming news clips for say the 5:00 news? And knowing that some of these people are just acting kind of makes me think how can we believe these people? To me, when these things are put on the news it seams like just another comercial for that company. We assume that everything on the news is true...not just another way for companies to get their names out there. Now I'm not saying that what these people are telling us isn't true, but if there behing hired to say this stuff, how can we as TV viewers believe them? But i don't know...this is just what I took away from the discussion on Thurs.
