337 - What do you think of the TV news?
My view of TV is extremely critical. I do believe that the majority of the viewers are unable to distinguish between what is told in the news and what usually happens in an episode of any TV series. I do not want to blame the audience. In fact, the heads of the TV news knows that if they want their viewers to grow, they are forced to tell any story like if it happened in a fiction. They are obliged to use the visual language through which viewers are used to receiving information. Everything must be announced as a scandal, in any story must be some mysteries and doubts, and whatever news must thrill the audience. The latter is the real goal of any TV news program. The reality, what happened, and the factual truth are not important. They simply do not matter. It is just business, after all...

My view of TV is extremely critical. I do believe that the majority of the (No article necessary) viewers are unable to distinguish between what is told (Here you can say, "told to them" since the verb "tell" is an action done to someone, or you can say, "what is said" instead) in the news and what usually happens in an episode of any TV series. I do not want to blame the audience. In fact, the heads of the TV news (here it would be helpful to supplement this with "the TV news channels," as "the heads of the TV news" doesn't sound quite right) knows that if they want their viewers(here it would be much better to write "viewership") to grow, they are forced to tell any story like as if it happened in a fictional story (you could also say, "as if it were fiction"). They are obliged to use the visual language through which viewers are used to receiving information (no error at all here, just wanted to mention that this is a beautifully put sentence, quite academic and eloquent). Everything must be announced as a scandal, in any story there must be some mysteries and doubts, and whatever the news shows must thrill the audience. The latter is the real goal of any TV news program. The reality, what happened, and the factual truth are not important. They simply do not matter. It is just business, after all...
I agree with you Antonello. I think that there is a tendency in the media lately to oversaturate the news with "doomsday" scenarios. I am also struck by the hypocrisy of news staff who are guilty of some of the same infractions that the people they report on commit.
