Authenticity of Media

These days one thing that is in abundance is information. Right or wrong that's a different question, but what you see is that everyone has something to share and it's more of a confusion then gaining knowledge. The mainstream media I feel is full of crap and majority of the times misguiding. You can never really rely on that media because they want us to hear what the elites want to sell and it's a complete controlled information. The social media forums that gives out information like Instagram, twitter and all, how much can it be relied on is also a question, because here the media may not be coming from a controlled environment but it comes from individual perception and experiences which may or may not be accurate, because it may sometimes come without any kind of validation.

So then what to believe and what not to believe is a question. I feel nowadays when you watch or listen to any news you should do it from a place where you do not actually start consuming it. There is no harm in listening, but one must do it in a manner that it does not start playing on the mind. For e.g. when I planned my holiday to Egypt, everyone told us, it's very dangerous to go there and I may face trouble and terrorism over there. During the period I went, some news were also there about unrest and demonstration. I did some research myself and nothing validated the news information, so I went ahead with my holiday. Over there it was absolutely peaceful like any other tourist destination and we did not have absolutely any problem moving around in any part of the country. It is such a beautiful country and rich with history and such news spoils tourism of the place.

Even other general information, like the products we use, people give good or bad recommendations based on their own experience and they are good to listen but one must be in a state to not form any judgements. I believe that these days first hand information is the reliable one then listening to people on social media and news channels.
