I disagree. Media shows warped ideas of almost anything it shows.

Ann Dollyn Diana

I disagree. Media seems to be more biased, to be fair also brings the truth seems to be inclined towards viewer ratings.

alysa

I disagree, I think the media is always somewhat biased depending on what audience they are trying to capture.

Rachel

I disagree. The media can twist any story into whatever it wants.

Rachel

7/5/2016 09:32:51 pm

Strongly disagree. Not all stories are true or well research you need to have your own info to back up what you research.

I totally agree, there are some cites that aren't legit or valuable to what we are looking for.

I disagree. People & the world are complex and the ability to fully understand an issue between commercial breaks is impossible in most cases

Jessica

I disagree media is not a good it only tells you things people want to know and they tell the rest of the things happening around us.

Karima

7/6/2016 03:44:06 pm

I'm going to disagree. The media is heavily biased due to politics and money. Information can be strung along to create positive or negative views.

Danielle Newsome

7/6/2016 08:29:43 pm

Strongly disagree. Media is mostly about peoples opinions of whats going on and not the facts. Some of the time you cant even trust the news sites in the media.

Justine

7/6/2016 10:13:59 pm

I disagree. While media has the potential to deliver fair and accurate representation of what is happening around the world, it is sadly not often the case. Like individual, media comes with prejudice, opinion and bias. Perspective usually is only one side of a multi~sided story.

Zehra

I somewhat agree but mostly disagree cause not all the time Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events especially where families are connected in children's growth.

Alexis

Media is a very important tool, BUT i would not live off of all imformation given. Not all is accurate.

Charlie

7/8/2016 12:16:15 pm

I feel that this is the case most of the time. Some media outlets tend to be a little bit biased one way or another. I would wish that they also wouldn't focus on all the negative happenings and try to mix in a little more of the positive news events that are happening in the country

Chelsey

7/8/2016 01:28:52 pm

I strongly disagree. I think that everyone has their own opinion and media definitely reports with their own opinion by filming or recording or documenting what will get the most interest from the community even if this means they are excluding important pieces of information.

Sheena

7/8/2016 07:03:21 pm

I strongly disagree. The media has its own agenda and it is usually very biased.

Lisette

9/4/2016 08:48:32 pm

I also disagree with the statement.

Avery Hinson

7/8/2016 08:47:08 pm

I strongly disagree. There is a lot of lies in the media about certain topics and the last thing you want to be teaching the children is lies about important topics.

Hailey

7/9/2016 12:14:13 am

Media reports what people will be more interested in.

Laurie

7/9/2016 12:02:29 pm

Media can distort things and is based purely on opinions and beliefs of the individual posting. Media can make things too small or blow them out of proportion. The best way to learn to is to find unbiased research about what it is you're trying to learn about.

Avery`

7/9/2016 02:51:01 pm

I strongly disagree. Media is a horrible way to understand what is happening in the world.

Andrea

7/9/2016 04:43:36 pm

Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country.

I personally agree, but it depends on what media you are looking at. Major media sources like CNN or other news stations generally give factual accounts of events around the country. Other more biased media sources would give a biased account however. It depends on what you look at.

Christine Hatfield

7/9/2016 06:36:25 pm

i strongly disagree. I believe that media portrays a one sided view and does not look at all angles of a story.

Rachel

7/10/2016 12:11:59 am

I strongly disagree. The main goal of media is to show the viewer what they are most interested in. Media today is so heavily commercialized that it can be very unhealthy for developing children's sense of identity.

Maria

10/18/2016 09:07:59 pm

I definitely agree with this!

Kyann

7/10/2016 12:51:39 pm

I VERY strongly disagree with this statement.

Kylie

7/10/2016 01:29:59 pm

I strongly disagree, media only provides you with information that they want you to hear.

Maren

8/2/2016 09:21:26 am

I strongly disagree the media only wants you to know what it wants you to know. It also depends on the T.V. channels you watch every station is out for it's own interest.

Tabitha Hoskins

7/10/2016 02:19:01 pm

I disagree the media only shows watch catches people's interests

April

7/10/2016 06:02:05 pm

I strongly disagree. Media(including news channels) report what they are or are told to report, not always what truly happened. Research is the best way to learn what is truly going on in the country and around the world

Kathryn

7/10/2016 07:50:10 pm

I disagree. Unfortunately, we live in a society that has very biased or uninformed media outlet. You could get the same story but five different versions. It is important to do your research about any topic and make a real informed decision; as much as you can.

samantha

7/12/2016 09:08:16 pm

I strongly disagree,all the information on the media is not accurate or truthful all the time,media outlets are extremely bias. Make sure you have all your facts and that it's age appropriate

Michelle

7/12/2016 09:32:03 pm

I disagree that media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of what happens around the country. The media has its place and I believe it is important to cross-reference stories from different sources in order to obtain different perspectives. I personally take everything with a grain of salt.

Hannah

7/13/2016 03:17:37 pm

i strongly disagree, the media only shows what they want to show in their short window of opportunity, they often leave out details that they do not think are important.

Abigail Kent

7/13/2016 08:40:14 pm

I strongly disagree. The media marginalizes large groups of people and chooses to report only what the largest demographic of viewers will enjoy. A lot of important news in minimized in the mainstream media. It is very important to look closely and carefully at the source from which we are receiving our news.

Kailee

7/13/2016 11:29:43 pm

I disagree, there is a lot of bias reporting.

Auutmn

7/14/2016 08:41:00 pm

I agree and disagree. Some media can be beneficial and truthful to these children but you must be cautious when using media.

Vanessa Zamora

7/14/2016 09:50:37 pm

I strongly disagree!!

leixin wang

Diana

7/16/2016 10:20:36 am

Strongly disagree

Ieisha

7/16/2016 04:18:43 pm

Disagree, media is created by human beings and we are all vulnerable to our biases. We have to do our best to develop our understanding of situations around the world without taking on the bias of those reporting the information.

Krystal

7/16/2016 06:58:22 pm

I disagree the media is very one sided and do not accurately till you what is going on

Kerry

7/16/2016 06:59:05 pm

Disagree...the media is either left or right depending upon the station/website/channel you are listening or watching. It's our job as teachers to share information with our class at age appropriate and middle of he row views.

Mandy Meikle

7/17/2016 06:07:41 pm

I strongly disagree, I believe that the media shows us the smallest sliver of what is happening/ what happened. I believe we should do our research and not just believe the first thing we hear/read.

Sarah Cristofono

7/18/2016 09:46:01 am

I disagree I think that the media gives people the wrong idea's and can warp people minds up.

Brittany Fry

7/18/2016 07:21:23 pm

I strongly disagree. The media has a way of twisting words and over exaggerating events in a way that seems much worse then the situation actually is. They may be right sometimes, but most of the time I believe a lot that is said is untrue.

Natalya C

7/18/2016 09:35:29 pm

I strongly disagree that media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country. We are shown just a small portion of what is going on, and usually only from one side. It is important to find out all of the facts.

ELLIE A BRUNSON

7/18/2016 09:57:04 pm

I disagree. The media portrays a one sided view of things a lot of the time.

oxana

7/19/2016 09:26:40 pm

I disagree.Not all the time media delivers fair and accurate accounts of events, media tells you things people wants to know.

Lena Olson

7/19/2016 09:46:17 pm

I disagree. Media consumption should be as diverse as the kids in your classroom. I took college level courses to realize how far media can be skewed towards an opinion. Post-modernist principles of no one, dogmatic truth is an important lesson.

lulu wang

7/20/2016 01:00:59 pm

I disagree. Media provide us lots of information that we can use, but filter the not-so-good thing is more important for us. We should sharpen our eyes.

Mary

7/20/2016 08:21:43 pm

Reporting on news events in the U.S. is generally fair and accurate, but it really depends on the source. There are many sources of media that report today. I get my news coverage from several different sources not just one source. I always keep in the back of my mind that there is always more to the story than is usually reported.

Mikaela

7/21/2016 06:56:21 pm

Dissagree not everything you see on the media is not true

sarah

7/21/2016 08:07:09 pm

I strongly disagree. I think media outlets can sometimes sensationalize news and make it seem worse than it is, or try to cover things up to hide what is really going on. Media has too much power, and most of it is used to diverge the public against each other or the truth.

Alyssa

7/22/2016 01:28:06 pm

I strongly disagree. Media is completely biased and only shows what they feel like showing and telling you. There is much information left out of the media and kept away from the public eye.

Jaimie Wiggin

7/22/2016 01:53:02 pm

I do disagree. it is sometimes hard to tell between truth on the internet.

Sophia

7/22/2016 06:38:40 pm

I disagree. Media is often biased.

Felicia

7/23/2016 09:02:48 am

I disagree...media is a business. They can be biased depending on who is paying them. They also hype-up issues. Events happen and are reported, but how they are delivered to the public can be very one-sided.

Chantel Craft

7/24/2016 10:39:05 am

I disagree, I think the media is biased.

krystal

7/24/2016 01:05:44 pm

I disagree I think media is biased.

Josh

7/24/2016 06:22:15 pm

I strongly disagree. The media isn't a valid form of information any more in my eyes. To me, it exists more as a marketing tool more than anything. However, it could be a helpful tool to introduce certain concepts to children if able to separate the biases from the facts.

Michael

7/24/2016 09:50:22 pm

I strongly disagree. Every media source has bias, and therefore it is important to consider many different sources and do your own research.

Kimberly Schlosser

7/25/2016 06:35:32 pm

I disagree on this one, there is too much information floating around both truthful and not. However, Media can be a very useful tool if used properly and researched.

Francesca Vespa

7/25/2016 08:14:35 pm

I disagree, the media can often be biased depending on the source.

Peyton Kuzakin

7/26/2016 11:37:10 pm

I strongly disagree, the media is biased and just tells you what you want to hear most of the time.

Amanda

7/27/2016 09:27:14 am

I strongly disagree! Our world is more focused on entertainment, money and Spotlight then sharing the truth.....sadly.

Allison Lake

7/27/2016 01:38:24 pm

I disagree, media is a good tool. But I would not only rely on the media for my information. They can sometimes give wrong information

Aly

7/27/2016 02:27:19 pm

I disagree, all different types of media usually have their own outlook on different events. Its hard to know what to believe anymore.

Tashayla McQueen

7/28/2016 01:09:53 pm

I strongly disagree. Its really hard to believe whats put on media, its so easy to manipulate articles and websites. Lots of things posted are opinions.

Syeda Quadri

7/28/2016 04:40:40 pm

DIsagree

Rachel

7/28/2016 07:34:13 pm

I disagree, I believe that most media is biased and does not give accurate or fact based information. Therefore media in general is not a good source of accurate accounts of event around the country.

(Susan) Elise Cabre-Vondrell

7/29/2016 07:05:13 am

Disagree. Media can distort truths based on the amount of research that went into presenting the info and the biases of the reporting. All too often, media also does not give enough time to the good deeds being accomplished in the world on a daily basis giving a distorted view that violence is the norm.

Maggie

7/29/2016 04:01:45 pm

I strongly disagree.

Karaden Marquette

7/29/2016 04:28:26 pm

The media is for entertainment first and foremost so I would strongly disagree. While some media can be fair and accurately reflect the world, most is based on what is entertaining/exciting which can be very bad for children. It is important to monitor and control what are children are watching.

Angela Bockman

7/30/2016 06:50:25 pm

I totally disagree. The media is very biased and only tells and shows people what they can to keep them interested or tuned in. I never really trust it.

Emily

7/31/2016 01:28:38 pm

Strongly disagree the statments put out on the media are not always true

Marree Perrault

8/1/2016 02:28:40 pm

I would have to disagree with the statement. Most mainstream media today sensationalizes news to get the most viewers, truth and accurate reporting is not always on the agenda.

Maya thetford

8/1/2016 09:24:25 pm

I think this really depends on the outlet. Some media is based on facts while other types are very opinionated or even completely fabricated.

Adelle Goettel

8/2/2016 07:53:24 pm

Like anything, one must take all perspectives into account before attempting to arrive at their own conclusion, if the fairest view is expected.

Michelle D Larsen

8/3/2016 02:52:39 pm

I disagree. Most media is biased depending upon their target audience. There are some sources that seem to be more balanced. These tend to be non-commercial sources that are publicly funded like Public Radio or PBS.

Brittany Williams

8/3/2016 05:23:20 pm

I disagree, while some forms of media may put out true facts a lot of media is fiction and written just to let people hear what they want.

Sarah Jimenez

8/3/2016 10:49:14 pm

I disagree. I believe that the media is very biased and depending on the perspective it can be greatly changed to meet a certain goal of a particular group.

Courtney Evans

8/3/2016 11:35:20 pm

I disagree the media is greatly biased based on politics and greatly exaggerates and embellishes news.

Somporn Osborn

8/4/2016 12:05:54 pm

I strongly disagree

Taylor

8/5/2016 11:20:22 pm

I disagree

The media stretches the truth they tell you what everyone wants to hear and what they want to see.

deja

8/8/2016 02:15:49 pm

I disagree that media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country. I believe that the media shows us only so much of the truth. I think that with all the opinions the media portrays, there is no honest facts behind it. I would say the media is unfair and biased.

Meenal Bhangria

8/8/2016 03:18:17 pm

I strongly disagree because media has its own agenda and usually very biased.

alysa

8/8/2016 07:06:36 pm

I feel it is important to make sure and research all sides of each story. And not immediately believe everything you hear via the media.

Matthew Valente

8/9/2016 04:38:40 pm

Disagree. Media has an agenda.

Heather

8/10/2016 08:34:39 pm

I strongly disagree with this because I think the media is biased.

lydia

8/13/2016 03:27:12 pm

i disagree, media manipulate people

Divya Nayak

8/14/2016 01:09:34 pm

I agree to this statement but not fully. Media is at times biased and thus manipulate the actual news. Sometimes the journalists misinterpret the scenario leading to confusion among common man.

Diane

8/14/2016 02:15:56 pm

I disagree. The news stations and newspapers are businesses, their main objective is to make money. So how they deliver the news always has a catch to it.

Sarah

8/15/2016 11:59:48 am

It is possible for media to have a factual account of events, but it is important to be really selective and do research in order to ensure that the media is from a good source.

Ka'dee Comerford

12/14/2016 02:29:15 pm

I think that the media usually has an accurate account of events but they are only allowed to choose segments of them and therefore a story can be changed and the public misinformed if even by accident.

christian

8/15/2016 01:26:56 pm

I disagree. The media and tend to be very biased based on the viewers and the point it is trying to portray.

Toni

8/15/2016 08:07:32 pm

I strongly disagree

Daniel R Massoni

8/16/2016 09:44:51 pm

I ABSOLUTELY disagree.

Taylor Yates

8/17/2016 08:47:50 am

I disagree media is a good way of passing the word about certain topics but it can very deceiving. It doesn't always express the actual truth about a situation.

Jessica P.

8/17/2016 01:50:50 pm

I disagree. Media only shares what they want the people to hear.

Lori

8/18/2016 07:03:07 pm

Disagree, media is not always from a view that can be considered agreeable and we should not look to it all of the time for the truth or if we are wondering what exactly is going on.

Audrey

8/19/2016 04:07:40 pm

I agree that some media outlets,or at least some journalists, tend to work harder than others to report the news accurately, but I strongly disagree that media in general does this. I think most media outlets, at this time, are more concerned about their bottom line than about integrity and honest investigative reporting.

mona

8/20/2016 11:21:40 am

I strongly disagree !!!

Limuel /Lim

8/21/2016 01:28:09 am

Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country.

I disagree. As much as there are reliable, honest reporters/journalists out there willing to risk their lives to tell the truth to the public, there are so many tv and radio stations even newspapers that are inclined to report based on their political affiliation and apply their biases on their reporting.

Ashley

8/22/2016 09:43:47 am

I strongly disagree because many times the media has been found guilty of falsifying the truth or reporting biased accounts of event.

Sueann Robinson

8/22/2016 09:52:18 pm

I strongly disagree, our media outlets are very biased

Tawnya

8/23/2016 01:06:29 pm

I would strongly disagree that Is why it is so important as teachers and childcare providers to represent all types of different materials and a more accurate display of the world around us.

tara rock

8/25/2016 02:13:00 pm

I strongly disagree the media can make things worse or even make situations seem smaller all depending on what they think will sell to people the best.

melisa

8/27/2016 08:03:22 pm

I disagree

Molly Morano

8/31/2016 10:57:06 am

I strongly disagree with this statement. I personally believe that the media tailors things to fit into the things and ideals that the people reporting the news hold. I believe that there is a lot of bias in the media.

Samantha

9/1/2016 01:32:51 am

It totally depends on your source of media. I only listen to NPR and read the New Yorker magazine, NY Times or Sydney Morning Herald so I know I can completely trust each of them to present truthful and extensive coverage of current events.

Elizabeth Sloan

9/1/2016 09:29:58 pm

I disagree, considering the multiple sources that individuals utilize and that the duration of information is presented in a manor to be as concise as possible or geared towards a specific audience media presents information to retain viewership. This is where developing critical thinking skills is important. However, it's also amazing the vast amount of information that is available in just a few clicks of a mouse or swype on a phone and being able to use these types of technology and media is full of great possibility.

Bella

9/2/2016 08:57:18 am

I disagree with this statement because media can be very one sided and if you haven't understood what's going on with both you lack the judgement needed to declare its truthfulness.

Breanna

9/3/2016 11:50:15 am

I strongly disagree. The media tends to be very biased and you can get significantly different explanations of events just based on which network you're watching or which website you're on.

Esther

9/6/2016 09:49:20 pm

I disagree. The media does not always tell you the whole story, it only tells you the part they think is important. What they tell you isn't always the truth or accurate.

Morgan Hamilton

9/8/2016 10:18:26 pm

I strongly disagree. Media shows warped, biased stories that bend the truth or exclude certain facts to get more viewers.

Dani H

9/10/2016 10:35:51 pm

I strongly agree. i think the current election is proof that the media offers skewed information. This week I have seen multiple stories about various news agencies that have been mis-reporting information intentionally. It is always important to find out the facts through various sources in order to form a comprehensive picture of events.

Dilrabo

9/11/2016 05:14:39 pm

I disagree because not all media or journalists can get full and right information every time.

Payam Khastkhodaei

9/12/2016 11:01:50 am

I strongly disagree, the media only portrays the extreme things for the most part or "interesting" news reports. Not all of them are accurate representations of the events.

Kate

9/12/2016 12:06:23 pm

I disagree. Media will always have a bias whether it be big or small.

Simegn

9/13/2016 08:39:48 am

I disagree because media can be biased at times and only reflect the interest of their audience.

Tessa

9/17/2016 04:57:18 pm

I strongly disagree.

Micaela P

9/19/2016 12:14:42 am

I strongly disagree that media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country. Mainstream media reports through the lenses of highly biased mainstream Western patriarchal perspectives.

Kaitlyn

9/19/2016 10:43:48 am

Not all media coverage is complete or accurate. So I would tend to disagree.

Jaya

9/20/2016 02:08:48 pm

Disagree, media is an attention grabber, meaning they will take the true story and twist it to get more commotion to attract people to the topic or media site.

Maria

9/20/2016 06:25:09 pm

Disagree. Some stories are true and some are based on lies.

Yumiko Mendez

9/25/2016 01:45:59 pm

Dhanya

9/27/2016 10:33:22 pm

I disagree.because some stories are not true.

ella rock

9/28/2016 04:45:32 pm

I disagree. While the media tells a story they can twist words and facts around to make it seem like something its not and that is not fair.

Wendy

10/11/2016 10:55:46 am

Strongly Disagree

Beth

10/11/2016 03:03:19 pm

I disagree. The point of view of the organization choosing what information and stories to put out totally changes the reality of what goes on across the world. Similarly, the things they choose to focus on and information the choose to leave out can change the perception of what problems we are really facing.

Brianne Frazier

10/15/2016 03:31:12 pm

i strongly disagree because not everything you see on media is true. and you never know if it could be false information

Maria

10/18/2016 09:07:08 pm

I strongly disagree that the media delivers fair and accurate representations. You need to do your own fact-checking and explain to children early that the TV/Internet does not always tell the truth.

Karlee McCarroll

10/20/2016 10:41:43 pm

I disagree and agree. They do show events that are happening however media transforms everything into representations of what is really going on. Too much opinion and tweeking occurs to ever know if its truly factual.

Delia Cano Garcia

10/21/2016 08:27:43 pm

I disagree. I think media usually reports with their own opinion. Truth is not always the best selling story so it may be altered to portray a more interesting story. Media is not accurate.

Hayley Lautt

10/31/2016 08:15:09 pm

I disagree. the media does not always give accurate information. There are always multiple stories on the same topic, all explaining something totally different.

Miko

11/6/2016 04:35:37 pm

I strongly disagree, the media can choose to report or not report what ever parts of a story are in the best interest of who they work for in order to get the public outcome that best suits their interests.

Karen

11/7/2016 05:07:15 pm

I strongly disagree with this statement. There is so much instant access to information and so many different and new ways to share it that we as a society are on information overload. Just the definition of media is changing daily. It requires incredible diligence just to research the facts let alone distinguish any biases applied on the part of the reporter or agency.

Yesenia A.

11/8/2016 12:22:07 pm

I strongly disagree. Talk about diversity! The media is full of it. What one reporter says, the other says the opposite. The media is absolutely not a reliable resource for fair and accurate accounts from around the country. The ways in which we voice what's important and worth sharing is influenced by diversity.

Media gives us a very warped opinion of what is real and what is not. Many times the worst opinions are broadcast as being true. The media just wants to write stories that are news worthy and its difficult to believe most of the stories.

I disagree. The media can twist any story into whatever it wants.

I also disagree on the reliability of the media.Different media outlets are going to have different examples.
for example fox is very conservative and will have a heavy biased towards republican ideology
And the New York Times will have a very strong democratic ideology. Giving a different message even if it was on the same story.

I agree and disagree. It depends on the source. Also in many instances it just takes time to figure out the truth. Many times people are quick to get the story out so they can be the first but then as facts come out stories need to be adjusted. You can believe everything you see, just use best judgement.

I disagree that media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country.They usually show or deliver port of truth which support their agenda.

I strongly disagree. The media uses what it wants to make a "good story". Even though information may be correct in most cases, it doesn't mean that all of it was shared or if negative/positive connotations were placed on the right piece of information.

Personally, I strongly disagree. Media is very influential and too often gives unrealistic accounts of reality.

I disagree. All humans are inherently biased and all media is created by humans, so therefore, all media is inherently biased. That being said, not all media is created equal. There are a few more reliable sources of media and news that abide by certain journalistic principles in order to eliminate as much bias as possible. We should strive to incorporate these less biased sources of media such as books and toys into our learning centers, and also include a variety of media of different slants.

I must have missed something because I am having trouble seeing the relevance of the question. However I dissagree that one can make any generalities about "the media" and it's accuracy just like we cannot safely make generalizations about ethnic background or gender with true accuracy. We have to carefully consider the source of any information we consume and be prepared to further research an idea from another source to be sure about it's fairness or validity. Otherwise we are vulnerable to the bias that so many of us mention.

I strongly disagree with the statement "Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country." Media in general is about giving audiences what they want to see. Because of this media is not a best practice to relay accurate accounts of events around the country. Race, Gender, Age, Beliefs are all skewed from a point of view from a media perspective.

I disagree, depending on where you live, the demographics and what media you are relaying on for your news can all play a part on how the story is told. A lot of times bogus facts are shared. I have seen this happen before in regards to many different stories happening around the USA at any given time.

Strongly disagree, todays media is very biased and can be very misleading to a lot of their readers, the media influences a lot of people and they do not in any means "deliver fair and accurate accounts of events around the country." for they love to make misleading titles solely for ratings.

The media does give people the general facts about events across the Country. So the person watching the news can know of major happenings. However the media is certainly can be biased in their interpretation of events according to their political leanings.

The media does not deliver fair and reliable news. It is often distorted for shock value and should not be trusted as one final source of information.

Anyone who believes the media fairly and accurately reports what is going on around the country needs to open their eyes and look at whats going on around them. Media sources report what they think will get them the most ratings and is biased to whatever side of the fence the media company owners want it to go. Liberal sources spin the news to their advantage just as conservative sources spin things to their view. One must learn to read between the lines and do a little research on their own to get a more full picture of what is truely going on. If they don't like a particular story it not get reported at all.

I strongly disagree with this statement. A lot of media is extremely biased and manipulated in order to portray a specific image of certain groups of people and to support a certain political agenda.

Rebecca Pedersen

Hardly because of the existence of media bias which limits our available information about a topic and skews our idea of that topic.
