The Media:

The Media:
Are They Telling The Truth Or Making It Up?
It's Joan's expert take on what's happening with the media today. When Joan was the host of Good Morning America, no one ever knew her opinion on a topic. Her personal goal was that, when she finished the speech, no one knew whether she was a Democrat or Republican.

For example, she interviewed Tipper Gore (wife of Vice President Al Gore) and rocker Frank Zappa. Tipper believed certain records should be kept on shelves so younger kids could not access them. Frank Zappa disagreed with this! After the interview, no one knew what Joan thought.

Nowadays, the media has drastically changed. With many TV hosts giving their personal opinions today, people need to learn what's true or if something is being made up!
