每日口說挑戰我們都被媒體控制了！淺談大眾媒體組織與文化 (Mass media | Society and Culture | MCAT | Khan Academy)

Day 267
The people who make the choices about what media is produced, the gatekeepers, are predominantly white, male, and wealthy.

現在所有訊息都必須要進行必要的查證，不過我覺得每個人的精神和時間都有限，所以盡可能在合理的範圍內盡力去做就好。只要能懂得自省，懂得凡事不走向極端，在感性之餘保持理性。通常情況下就不會盲從某些極端言論，例如：誰誰的政策就是不好、誰誰誰就一定有收錢，或是誰誰誰又失言了.... 這類型的新聞通常都沒啥重點，只存在批評而已。

--------------------回應錄音的
有點害羞耶，安董尼其實是在回應我的留言，剛好被Celeste拿出來談，哈哈。

姆.....可能就是個人動機不夠充足，只是想學英文，想試著轉換對英文的排斥感。從小補習，印象中對於英文沒任何好感。從來也只是考試或是寫論文必要才會查，即便努力學習，都覺得很難。近兩年間的口說練習，多多少少有改善這一點，不過個人覺得還差的遠~~~~也有可能只是我沒有找到我的學習方法而已。

題外話：Duolingo 這個我也是天天刷，取代Quizlet，我是用Anki。

[NOTE]

The people who make the choices about what media is produced, the gatekeepers, are predominantly white, male, and wealthy.

這些決定媒體內容的「守門員」，大多是富有的白人男性。

*The terms "rich" and "wealthy" are usually used interchangeably. However, Robert's rich dad made an important distinction between the two, saying, "Rich(有錢） is measured in money and wealth （財富）is measured in time. Most people focus on getting rich rather than becoming wealthy."

Wealth is financial freedom（財富自由）.

#資訊的傳播原本就經過人們的詮釋，遑論刻意產出的所謂的「新聞」
#重點是訊息接收者，自己要有判斷的能力啊...

如果聽到什麼就相信什麼，不經咀嚼與思考，那腦袋的意義在哪裡呢？

有時候與其罵記者，不如好好培養自己的媒體素養，畢竟我們都是活在環環相扣的社會鍊裡。

假新聞假訊息都太氾濫了，太扯蛋的事情還是要自己多查證
