TV news: weaknesses or manipulation?
Keywords:
TV news, television, weaknesses, communicationAbstract
This work tries to answer some of the questions we ask ourselves everyday, whenever we make use of television to meet our information needs.

Understanding what happens around us means we have to assume the obligation to form ourselves in order to abandon the illusion that we live in that plural, free and democratic society that it is daily spread across the media..
