Rumors, lies and innuendo spread far, wide, and fast on the Internet. Taken from "Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture" by Stanley Baran, pg 324.


Critical Reflection :

In my opinion,i don't take whats is on the internet is true because i'm curious the credibility of the writer. Based on comic strip above, we can see that the son is being lied by the small kid based on the 'Official National News' blog that he currently approach with. Why i curious with the credibility of the writer because from the internet, we can't really know or see with our naked eye whether the content is the finest from the finest author. Every infomation that we have is better for us to diffrentiate other sources of the same topic.
Next, in internet there's too many information that we can utilize but are they the fresh ones? All writer must have their sources to make up a story. The genuinity of the source is by making a research, travel to the place that you are investigating and etc. True story is balck and white or recorded. Make up stories by listening from mouth to mouth is not valid because every conversation from each person will be containing diffrent stories.
