Real of Fake??
Lately I have been keeping up with the New York Times and my blog of choice, called Deadspin. Through these two sources of information, I gain different kinds of information, but in the same aspect. The New York Times allows me to gain information about news going on around the US and the World simultaneous, while Deadspin allows me to get news about different types of sports. In this means, both are set on a national and international level of gaining and releasing information. Even though the New York Times focuses mainly on news and stories that impact our Nation and World, the paper is still capable of reporting on sports. While with the blog posts, it mainly focuses on sports news and every once in a while the contributors focus on “news” focused topics. As well, I don’t see Deadspin as the type of information source that has much distorted information. This is because it is simply sports and most of sports can’t be slanted, until it comes to commentary, and since this is simply a blog post, the bloggers own words can be the only part of the information that could be considered in a press sphere. While with the New York Times, most, if not all of the information is thrown through a press sphere, for the reason of it being apart of the press and the entire paper being about reporting about information that is happening around us, and not information happening in the actual New York Times. The Times lives off of gaining information and then reporting about it in a different way in which their bosses want to hear it. But they are not the only paper that does this; nearly every paper and news channel is at fault fro this kind of action.
