Modern media is now a biased institution that can have some negative impacts on today's society and governmental procedures. As the media has become more and more biased, different government parties have started to become more aggressive to point out their policies. Take a look at the wrongful killings of young African Americans in 2020 and 2021. Some media outlets praise the aggressor's bravery to stand up to such tough crowds, while some media outlets demean the aggressor in the BLM protests or the wrongful killings.
Sometimes the public seeks opinion and analysis of complicated issues. Providing such opinions and analysis is another important function performed by the media. The evolution of the media has been fraught with concerns and problems. Accusations of mind control, bias, and poor quality have been thrown at the media on a regular basis. Yet the growth of communications technology allows people today to find more information more easily than any previous generation. Mass media can be print, radio, television, or Internet news. They can be local, national, or international. They can be broad or limited in their focus. The choices are tremendous.
