Reality aka "Media Reality"

What is real and what isn't real?!?!?!

As we read or watch the news we cannot help but believe what is being published or spoken. What hat is real and what is not? One thing we know for sure is that the truth is out there, however it's presented is a different story. Therefore what we need to do with the media is problem solve, assess different outcomes, measure and produce the tangible results and benefits, examine and rationalize, and finally be pragmatic because what you know and what you don't know are totally different things. Three individuals that are key pragmatists are; William James which focused on the individual and developed radical empiricism, John Dewey which focused on the social issues and believed in pragmatic meliorism, and finally Richard Rorty which focused on the essential truth and relativism.

So now what??? What do we do about this???
