Entry #3 TMZ Slanted Reporting

Many news sources provide information by creating stories that focus on a single side over the other. In the environment of news reporting, there are hidden opinions that influence the audience's understanding and result in possible bias. The goal of news reports is to provide information. Still, there is always the risk of personal opinions being included without being noticed, which can lead many readers to believe one way about the facts as they are presented to them. An example of slanted reported news I found was TMZ, the biggest stories in celebrity and entertainment news.

TMZ regularly tells stories about celebrities in an inaccurate or biased way. They frequently emphasize the most shocking or embarrassing aspects of a topic, rather than providing every important detail. For example, instead of just stating that a celebrity couple split up, they may exaggerate the reasons or spread rumors without providing proof. This can lead to people believing things that are not necessarily true, as well as misunderstandings regarding the individuals involved. In short, TMZ's reporting occasionally distorts the reality to make stories more intriguing, which is not honest or accurate.

To sum up, TMZ is a great example of how slanted news can be since it frequently presents a twisted perspective that doesn't always give the full story. Understanding this slanted information is important given the power of the news industry nowadays. Receiving slanted news can have serious effects, just as hearing only one side of a situation in daily life can cause misconceptions and poor decisions among people. To gain a greater understanding of a specific situation reported, it is necessary to use awareness and look for information from many sources. We can better understand the complicated ways of the media world and make better decisions if we are educated and cautious of the news we receive.
