Media and Government Control

How does the media and government work?

Media and the government have a strong influence over our society. They work together, yet against each other to inform us on what is going on. First off our government uses the media in order to manipulate us, and to only give us information they want us to know. Whether it be the whole truth, part of the truth or not even the truth at all. The government also has control over the media on what they are and aren’t allowed to show the public.
Media has control over the government when it comes to how they want to portray the certain individual. They can make our president of the United States look fantastic and making the right decisions; yet at the same time they can portray them as a bad person and making wrong decisions when deciding what’s best for our country. Whether it be positive or negative that the media and the government have control over each other, it is necessary and nothing would ever be able to change that.
