Q. What role does the media play in establishing facts or putting out opinions
- A. In my opinion, the media plays a massive role in establishing facts or putting out opinions. Mainly because most of the media like the news etc is viewed by so many people. Because these forms of media are viewed by so many people every single day: a lot of people will listen/read to what they are saying, meaning that even some will believe what they are saying because where the information is coming from is from a widespread source.
