of based on any feelings or opinions.
Although
Linking Words
I believe, all the news is not true; the main purpose of a newspaper is to update people with the facts and unfold reality.
To begin
Linking Words
with, until fairly recently, media are more business oriented and works under political pressure. News gathered by journalists is not presented as it is among the masses, whereas it is rather sensationalised to seek attention and raise their TRP.
Additionally
Linking Words
, political pressure is another cause of creating subjective news, as it helps to showcase particular party’s ideology and forces to believe it.
For instance

Furthermore

profession by showing opinion driven and false news.
For example

causes wrong people leading the country and corrupted authorities demolish county’s development in the long run. In conclusion, I think all the news is not true and it is mostly subjective, whereas, the main purpose of a newspaper to disclose the facts to people and updating with the real news. In my opinion, journalists should not just do justice to their jobs, but
also

should be responsible human beings.
