The word is not the real thing

What do you think is this? A horse? WRONG! The image above is not a horse, it is just a picture of a horse. Even though the horse has all the characteristics horses have, it is not a real horse; it is only a concept of a horse.
If we keep in mind this philosophy, we can argue that the media does not transmit the reality we live in because the media only presents one point of view of the whole reality.

The media helps a lot with presenting a version of the realithy. Why? Because the media presents news through a camera; a camera that has only one lent and cannot present more than one point of view. Therefore, even though you are watching the news on TV, that is not real; it is just one point of view of the presented reality.
