Can you always trust what you see in the media? Why or why not? Give examples.

No, you can not trust the media with images all the time. The media can not be trusted because their goal is to create a story or contreversy, so if they are having trouble coming up with an image to create contraversy they can edit the image to create a story. A common way to do this is an application called photoshop, an expert using photoshop can make images look very realistic and believeable. A website with examples of edited images is museumofhoaxes.com/tests/hoaxphototest.html. Despite these problems there are still some newspapers and magazines you can trust, like the Boston Globe and news magazines like Time Magazine. Connor C. and Matt E.
