How to watch tv news by Neil Postman revised by Steve Powers Part 2

"All this talk about news, but what is it? We turn to this question because unless a television viewer has considered it, he or she is in danger of too easily accepting someone else's definition: for example, one supplied by the news director of a television station or, even worse, imposed by important advertisers. The question, in any case, is not a simple one, and it is even possible that many journalists and advertisers have not thought deeply about it." This is a paragraph from the novel. I truly believe that we as viewers should contribute and broaden hour viewing content. Instead of viewing MTV News or BET 106 & Park for our resources in news, we should view news channels such as CNN, ABC, FOXNEWS, NBC, etc. This will help our not knowing of what is really happening in the world.
