How Media Actually Works, Summed Up In One Clever Comic

If you take a deeper look, the news media isn’t as honest as it seems. Reporters often blur the lines between facts and fiction to make a story more appealing for their audience. Dustin Rogers, a comics author and app developer from Columbus, Ohio, has cleverly exposed the dirty side of corporate news agencies in his latest webcomic News Dogs.

Dustin portrays news using a consumption cycle and compares it to hot dogs. I won’t spoil the rest, but let’s just say that it cleverly reminds us to thoroughly digest everything the media feeds us.

    I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

    While I know that news outlets "cultivate" their new stories, this is not the source of fake news. People are getting their news from social media headlines, not even the whole story. They read and post and then never check up on the facts. I don't think the media is to blame so much as the overall culture of ADD information absorption.

    If you think so, then ffs read more than just one news source and add all the pieces together. Also I highly doubt the 10% fact, 90% additives (whatever that should be). There are still a lot of good journalists out there. Just because some people scream "fake news" whenever they read something they didn't like it's not automaticall true. Educate yourself, read as much as you can and build your own opinion (hopefully better than feces).
