Media - "shaped news"
I'm not sure about all of Dreyfuss's opinions; but, I do agree with this one...
Richard Dreyfuss talks to Astrid Zweynert from Reuters:
"'We don't build into our system of thoughts the need to explain, the media doesn't build that into its transmission of knowledge and information.'"
"That creates what Dreyfuss calls 'shaped news' -- a version of events according to how the mainstream media want audiences to see what happened, and a violation of journalism's core value of objectivity."
