Answer:
Yes. The media can affect our view of current events. The reason this happens is because the reporters telling us, can have a different view on the subject, so thwy start to warp the news to fit their agenda, instead of being unbiased for good reporting. Also, this can be warped by being given wrong information, meaning we are uninformed, telling even more lies the more we speak to others about the subject, spreading even more misconception.
Explanation:
An example of this could be a civil war breaking out in another country. In the country, they could know exactly how it happened, but for the person telling us, they might want to change the story a bit, to make it sound like one side is innocent while the other is horrible. Then we get this warped view, and now we are uninformed about the true events.
