1. What is the impact of the media in modern politics?Discuss critically

Do Americans truly care about the information shared? Prior to the technological explosion with media (social media, internet, 24hr TV news stations), many ‘scandalous’ events occurred, but they were not published or covered.

Would society be better if the media only focused on policy and not the more private aspects of politicians’ lives? Why or why not?

You must answer the following questions: how can you, as a “regular” person, stop the perpetuation of false information? Do you have a personal and/or social responsibility to try and only give out/share facts?
