Good Media/Bad Media

It’s not really fair to criticize or applaud the media during different periods of time because the only way that audiences are able to know that a source is publishing something false or biased is because there was another source at that time providing them with more reliable information. For instance, America currently acknowledges fox news as a news source that presents facts with a republican bias. But the reason why we know that is because that there are other sources telling us this. I believe it is important for the media to have these various perspectives because that allows us check facts and make sure we know what we’re being told is true.
