End of my Mass Media and Politics Blog

Throughout this course I have learned quite a bit about media, politics, and how we are indirectly or directly influenced by it all. This course along with this blog enabled me to become a more active participant in what I watch, how I watch it, and how I interpret the information given to me. Reverting back to one of my previous posts I think news and how it is currently delivered to us all is in some way shape or form propaganda. The trustworthiness of news lies not only in how the news is delivered but also with who is delivering it. Looking beyond the hidden agendas and the bureaucratic nonsense is our duty as Americans. It is our right to decipher and understand was is true. To be able to apply it to making sound decisions about our country's needs is also in our best interest. Hopefully this blog and this class as been as enlightening for you as it has been for me. I hope that we are all able to keep some sense of passion about the effects of the mass media throughout our lives as we have in this class. I'm glad to have met and worked with you all and enjoyed the comments posted on my page. Thank you for your participation and I hope you all have a Happy Holiday when it comes.
