INTRODUCTION

We live in a world in which we are dangerously influenced by media images. That is a truth.
There are a lot of surveys demonstrating how much people lifestyle, ideas and acknowledgement are intentionally influenced by media.
A survey shows that North American People watch television about 30 hours per week.
It means that media, and more specifically Television have got a really big power on peoples' mind.
However, media is a product , a product with a peculiarity: it is not only sold but it is also used to sell: products and ideas.
Media are most interested in manipulating people's mind in two fields: products and ideas choices.
Media use stereotypes to improve people interesting in stories and at the same time to suggest such products people would buy.
The most dangerous manipoulation occurs in news manipolation.
People minds are regularly influenced by media point of view presented as the truth.
From the 80's news started to become more and more superficial and manipulated.
In our days is very difficult to understand what is true and what is false from what is shown by news.
News can influence a lot of people opinion including political , economical and social issues.
It is easy to image some people, or lobbies, leading news in their interest.
