When I read the news I generally just skim the headlines. I don\u2019t delve too deep into the articles unless I find a news item or opinion piece that really peaks my interest.<\/p>\n
I do this to preserve my sense of perspective and reason. The modern media machine is designed to draw people into a sensationalistic, black and white view of the world. Not all media can be painted with the same brush but for the sake of this article I am talking about the mainstream media that is consumed by the majority of people in the western world.<\/p>\n
Our human reality is never truly presented in mass media but they instead create a distorted view of a world filled conflict, fear and imminent disaster.<\/p>\n
