that

this

is a negative development because it endangers

democracy

. Most

people

take newspapers and TV news at face value and do not think about it very critically.

This

leads to them believing everything they read or hear on television and

this

can have a serious impact on how they view the world and can lead to them having a distorted view of certain key issues. Take the current refugee crisis as a perfect example, where the UK press reported the refugees as ‘migrants’ who were looking to swamp the UK and take advantage of their relative economic prosperity, when in reality these

people

were simply fleeing

countries and had no other choice but to leave.

This

distortion means that governments and corporations can influence the

media

and get them to spin a narrative that suits their agenda, which is very dangerous for

democracy

. A healthy

democracy

must have a free press

that is

critical of the state and big business and if it does not,

democracy

will be in peril.

For example

, it has been shown that Fox News regularly tells lies about the Democratic Party and seeks to support the Republican Party, which is very disturbing when you consider that tens of millions of

people

tune in to Fox News every day. In conclusion, the

media

affects our views of the world by telling us what to think and unless

people

make up their own minds rather than blindly believing whatever they hear or read,

democracy

is threatened.
