How/Why is info twisted by media?

Everyday, our perception of news around the world is altered. Well known news stations like Fox and CNN need to get high viewer ratings to make money. And to get more views, you need to stretch the truth a little bit more to become intriguing. It is a little more extreme in 1984 because they are purposely brainwashing the people of Oceania to believe certain things to keep them under "Big Brother" rules. Which in my opinion is very similar to our society today. Maybe just nit as evident because we have laws granting our freedom to things like freedom that the government in 1984 is brainwashing to get rid of. However, if you believe that our media does not stretch the truth to change our perception you are wrong. It could be something as simple as changing the word "killed" to "massacred". Say that a news station titles an article "Black man massacred innocent students" Doesn't adding massacred and innocent give a negative make you perceive that man in a more negative way? It isn't as in your face as the government in 1984 but it happens everyday in subtle ways you may not even notice. This is very similar to how the government portrayed Goldstein. In class, we talked about how he probably isn't even real and if he is real, he isn't this horrible outcast that he is portrayed to be. Goldstein basically was a face to represent this character you should never be like because he was a rebel and the government made him "disappear" Do you guys think we have a symbol for an outlaw similar to Goldstein? Or do you agree that the news station alter the truth to make you perceive things to their liking? My personal experience with medias influence over me is Twitter because it always shows negatives about Donald Trump. Even if Donald Trump did something good, it is unlikely I would hear about as quickly as I hear about his racist and sexist remarks. Now, I ultimately think he is horrible person because that's what the media presents in order to catch our attention. Let me know if you have ever been affected by anything with a lot of influence over you has changed your perception of something!
