Andru [333]

It is important for the citizens to check multiple sources when learning about a political event through the media as Different news outlets may emphasize different parts of a story.

Explanation:

Even though media is a very powerful tool for the people to know what political events  are taking place in the country or the world , It is also biased in favor of some political parties over the others.

Every media , be it a news channel or a social media, is biased towards some party or the other and most of the media coverage,  is towards the one that they favor.

Thus, The citizens will not get a complete picture of the political event , as every media covers news and segments more of the party that they favor.

Hence, It is up to the citizens to follow multiple sources to find out what is the true picture of the political event.
