cheers thanks for the help i all so found these if anyones interested:

the idea that commercial media is principally concerned with ratings.

the idea that truth is manipulated or distorted for ratings.

those who have the power, tailor truth to their purposes.

obsession with image and overrides the accurate portrayal of the truth

the idea that the representation of the truth is easily compromised by corporate and political interest.

stories choosen not for their information, but instead for there dramatical elements.

the idea of how accurent affair programs construct their own version of reality.
