When it comes to sensationalized news, make sure that we have our own judgment. Not every allege is reported true.

the speculation that was made by press,in case, just for their magazine or newspaper' rating...they spread the words about some rumors that we don't know the truth...sometimes, they have to do this cause this what they have to do...but in other hands,they harms the others...

Sometimes the fake story spread form reporters may cause someone anguish even ruin someone's life.So the reporter should realize his duty and responsible for its reports.

Obviously,some celebrities suffer anguish because of speculation resulted from press without scrutiny.However, we cannot neglect the fact that the result is caused mostly frome the public who have an endless hunger for privacy.

the man was very innocent, i think he didn't do anything wrong. he saved a lot of people's life,
ReplyDeletebut lost his own. Because of pulic opinion,he suffered a great of anguish. i don't think it's fair to a hero. the newspaper repoters should ask themselves before posting any reports, or more people's life would be invaded like this case.

I suppose that a reporter with sense of justice should investigate the fact clearly rather than make his or her own allegation instantly.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me about a man who shooted in presidential election.I think losing privacy is legitimate for a governor, but a citizen. People should not play ostrich about that.

Actually it is inevitable that reporters add their point of view when they are writing the news.
ReplyDeleteWhat we should do is to read the different news that stand on the different point of we.
So that we may reach the truth closer.
昌昱
To all above.
ReplyDeleteBecause rumor is more fascinated than truth.
So audience love to read the news with rumor .
We should reject to read those news.
So that those media will know we want more than rumors.
昌昱
Hi~昌昱 your opinion is right.If all of us express our attitude to no fake story then the media will give up to make the fascinated.So let`s start it from ourself.
ReplyDelete鈺貴
When you are innocent from something guilty,what you want is just that begging for keeping yourself from the suspect.
