However‚ in too many films supposedly based on fact‚ reality and truth has been sacrificed all together‚ in the pursuit of pure‚ generic entertainment. The phrase‚ “don’t let truth get in the way of a good story” is worryingly‚ far too applicable to modern Hollywood. With regard to films that claim to be based on a TRUE story‚ there is a line that should be drawn when Hollywood creates its version

watch soaps and soap is a method of escapism from the real world. Most of us prefer to watch other people’s life story rather than thinking about our own. Radio talks more about us‚ our life. Before TV was invented radio was the only form of entertainment. The most interesting thing about radio is that it is highly interactive. Even more exiting is that radio is usually live. The host has to work harder to attract the listeners‚ to compensate the lack of visuals (non-verbal communication). Plus

Media Censorship Today there is much controversy over whether there should or shouldn’t be censorship of the media. Censorship should not be imposed on citizens by the government or other agencies; adults have a right to view or listen to what they choose. Additionally‚ if children’s media is censored‚ parents are the ones to monitor and regulate it.
