Media
has this fundamental role on developing the public opinion toward relevant
matters that must be tackled. It also bore this power to shape this opinion on
the way they wanted. They have supremacy over these stuffs, the superior
control over the minds of the people.
It would
not be an understatement if I would say that the role played by media in this
society is entirely gigantic.
They have
the power no other influential man could have done. The trust offered by the
public to this networks show their weighty dependence when it comes on building
their thoughts and opinion over public matters.
It is
true, media has this potion to allure the people to believe on whatever they
say, they do and they show.
That is
why on the issue of Vhong Navarro and his scandal with Cedric Lee and Deniece
Cornejo, everyone may have their own opinion but their opinion will always be
held upon on what the news organization show it in their style.
One may
have their slant in favor of Navarro, the other may focus the angle toward
Cornejo’s, and one may show the story balance and unbiased.
And to
choose who of the three delivered it right and unbleached, requires intelligent
and critical analysis on their news presentation. We are not yet stupid on how
to see it.
I therefore
focus the solution to the viewers that after all, will give their verdict
(though the subject not really important). I am hopeless that there’s a cure
for the eradication of this so-called gate-keeping bias among media networks.
Media,
after all, is a business. It was living and continuing by money from business
sectors seeking influence and power, wishing to have scented fragrance over
their names in front of the public by the use of this highly- influential media.
And this
company’s commitment on their sponsors would include privileges that whatever
mishaps that may happen will be defended and covered to the best the media can.
And the
truth will always be sacrifice.
