Opinion
When I read this article, I think about information. How must we deal with information?
I think there are many risks that media publish incorrect information. When publish incorrect information, people may mislead and confuse. This will be important for political decision. When people make the decision, people refer to the information that was published by media. I think this situation is very dangerous.
So people must get information from some media in order to avoid the risks. If all media tell the same information, this isn’t skeptical, but when each media tell another information, we must think “what is truth?” We can get certain information by showing each source. If the information hat trusted source, the information probably correct. The people who gets information must ascertain whether this is correct or not. On the other hand, the person who give information must tell the source in order to avoid the risks which they tell incorrect information.
