The Media

I feel it is the media's duty to report on information that they can claim as factual as much as possible. Media sources want to "have the scoop", and using conspiracy theories would only leave viewers in confusion and specualtion. Conspiracy theories are also not stories that can be used frequently. The media would much rather report on useless pop culture news, usually with celebrities, or everyday stories, such as homicides, car accidents, and political news. They are always happening, can be expanded on, and can be reused all the time. Despite a lot of useless content that the media usually produces, they have to remain factual and not biased, to give viewers a guarentee of credibility that they are not being lied to. To use stories like conspiracy theories tends to show bias in the news. These theories are often unproven and are for people who "believe in that kind of stuff". Though they are interesting, they cannot support themselves as a constant outlet for news stories. The internet plays the part of hosting these stories well, because they are not always credible, yet are valuble in questionability.
