"News is truth shaped by an author and editor." (Abilock, Debbie 2003)
Response:
I was really surprised when I saw this quote, because I have always thought of the news as the EXACT same way. It doesn't matter what the news, or the truth is, it's always going to be shaped, dressed up, and painted to look like what the author wants it to look like, but then edited again by (you guessed it) the editor, to they see it as fits. After all this poking and prodding, the "news" may still be the truth, but one always needs to remember the following:
1. They could have added to it.
2. They could have taken from it.
3. They could have made it more interesting.
I choose this cartoon because it shows how normal people don't question the media, they just feed off of it.
