Whois & Analysis for thepoliticalinsider.com

The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication.

The technologies through which this communication takes place include a variety of outlets.

Advertising is an audio or visual form of marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored, nonpersonal message to promote or sell a product, service or idea.

Sponsors of advertising are often businesses who wish to promote their products or services.

Advertising is differentiated from public relations in that an advertiser usually pays for and has control over the message.

It is differentiated from personal selling in that the message is nonpersonal, i.e., not directed to a particular individual.

Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that are the "news of the day" and that informs society to at least some degree.

The word applies to the occupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information, and the organizing literary styles.

Journalistic media include: print, television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels.

A fact is something that has occurred or is correct.

The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability—that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.

Standard reference works are often used to check facts.

Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experiments or other means).

In general, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive.

It may deal with subjective matters in which there is no conclusive finding.

What distinguishes fact from opinion is that facts are more likely to be verifiable, i.e. can be agreed to by the consensus of experts.

An example is: "United States of America was involved in the Vietnam War" versus "United States of America was right to get involved in the Vietnam War".

An opinion may be supported by facts and principles, in which case it becomes an argument.

Different people may draw opposing conclusions (opinions) even if they agree on the same set of facts.

Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented.

It can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analyzing the supporting arguments.

In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires.
