题目:Do you agree or disagree with the following sentence:
there are so many source of information and news that we can not tell which one is true or who is telling the truth
With no doubt, as the development of information technology, more sources of information are available for people; however, what various news resources bring us are not clear or definite about the news, but are confusing. Also, this is what I am troubled: it is really hard for us to identify which news or information is the real one or who tell the truth.
In today's competitive world, hardly the phenomenon that mass media try every effort to exposure news no matter it is true or not would disappear. As newspaper or magazine companies, their primary job is to reported news, reflecting the truth. But when their competitors are upsurging, a threat always driven them to discover and uncover the most fresh but reliable news. Once failed, the most effective way lowers their standard. Gradually, the goal of media is the quantity not the quality, even without checking the reliability of the most news their reported. On the other hand, newspaper or magazine companies, paying attention to reveal the news as soon as possible, make the news even less trustworthy. Nowadays, people are surrounded by all kinds of information, some of which is inferior and somewhat artificial. So, it is not strange that most of people can not figure out that which piece of is telling the truth.
This phenomenon attributes to another serious and bothersome situation: some irresponsible people deliberately create some fake news to attract media in order to be well-known. It is not difficult to find examples in entertainment world. Say, to draw fans' attention on singers' new records, record company which aimed at more profit make the most of media to exposure singers: fabricate rumors or gossips or disseminate vague information. This strategy is universal. Most of us are accustomed to it, failed to identity its authenticity. This is uncontrollable.
The reality that media companies are thirsty for news and Entertainment Companies are eager for profit exists inevitably. And people are affected. But, if we concentrate on those shows less and attain information through more authoritative media, we may reduce the effects.
Through the analyses above, though sensible judgment can relieve the influence, we could reach the conclusion that barely can we tell which one is true or who is telling the truth from so many sources of information and news.
