censorship and the news

The News online is extremely convenient for people who do not have time to sit down and watch it on TV. It is faster, more efficient way to get information out there. But oftentimes just like the News on TV, it can be biased. It does not always show both sides or the entire story.
In class i remember discussing what life would be like if there was no news. In my opinion, life would be scary. It is frightening to think of living in a world where we did not know what was going on in our country or the world. We need local news for things such as the weather and so we can know when abductions, rapes, or robberies occur. We need the news so we can learn about what is going on with foreign affairs, new governmental policies, potential epidemics, etc. A life without the news would be extremely scary.
