Thank you, Raj5000 for the info.
Well, thinking of my own country-what I can see is that people believe what they like to believe! You can call no media TOTALLY UNBIASED-even BBC or CNN-the so called media moghuls.
In some situations-like war-censoring is NEEDED for security. imagine all the security details being published in clear view of terrorists! So to an extent state retriction isn't a choice, but a neccesity.
The problem is that there is a VERY FINE line between what that EXTEND IS. Cross the line-and however experienced and acknowledged the heads of a particular media organization is-it becomes an abuse of political power to meet own ends.
And not only state media. Most media is biased to a particular party. The state media usually glorifies the government giving little or no valuable news. Likewise, private media take the side of the party they support and continuously ridicule the government!
And in the end what happend? In answer to your question, trustt, of what a citizen can do-simply change the end!
And the usual end is-slavishly worship the media that gives you what you want to believe! Change that end-that's what we citizens can do!
