I'd like to write about mass media in my life. I sometimes watch news or entertaining programmes on the federal channel in my free time. My doubt about mass media is, that they are not quite honest with people. There is many untrue information on television. I also hate stupid advertisments, where people try to attract viewers with useless products, which take up to 50\% of the transmission. Current channels don't have anything interesting, what costs my attention, so I try to keep away from TV.
To sum up, I'd like to write that despite of many ads and announcements, which have no sense, they influence people's lives.
