Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? We need to have different sources of news and information to know which one is the real one or who is telling the truth.
Sample:
The ability of independent thinking is treasured nowadays. Lazy modern people tend to be misled by some single-sourced news, because the same event can be reported in different versions, which may either agitate public anger or reassure their anxiety. Therefore, limited information will encumber people to dig the truth. In my point, grasping varies sources of news are the cornerstone to explore and identify the reality.
We are in the maze. The seemingly shortcut to the truth may be the deliberate pitfall. To bury the truth or cover the crime, the government will control the public opinions and exert influences on people. So the sole source of news is not trustworthy. For example, in North Korea, numerous dissidents are being muzzled by the leader. Kim Jong Eun cuts the connection to the outside world and instills his extreme thought to citizens, making them believe that they are the “happiest men” in the world. Under such totalitarianism, it is difficult for people to know their real life. But there are still some people who can secretly surf the Internet, knowing their life and the truth of their nation from CNN or BBC. An increasing number of citizens are escaping from North Korea currently. That exemplifies how different sources of news help people to find the truth.
Although diverse sources of news may perplex people, they are the cornerstones for in depth truth-exploring. Different sources of news provide different perspectives toward the same events. By comparison of the news, we can survive from the overwhelming information. For example, Reuters, Times and The Wall Street Journals, they chose different points to report the Mh370 accidents. Finding the contradictions and common points in these reports, we can ensure that the plane has deviated its airline and the oil had been consumed up. But whether the plane exploded or directly sank into the sea needs further information.
Admittedly, it is time-consuming to collect the information and analyze them. For example, in order to find the truth of WWII, historians have to search not only the formal history but also countless unofficial history. But the project is worth conducting because the truth is all that we chase for our life. Conscientious people want to know whether their country was at fault for the war; many dead people urged for a fair judgment of their life. So we need abundant information to find the truth.
In sum, the more diversified sources of news we get the truth, the closer we are to the truth.
