Summary: I wasn't convinced by the previous article's take on medias censorship so I decided to find an example that would go against it... Lina Esco, a figure to the leading movement free the nipple talks about the downsides of media's sexist choice of female areolas' (nipple by the boob) being censored on all sources of media. Whether it deals with social media, news outlets, or magazines they are constantly blurred or covered.
My opinion: I think this is a great article that serves as a decent prove that some times media censorship isn't logical or necessary. Why can a man walk topless but not a woman? Or why can they post a shirtless photo on Instagram when woman would be fined and be forced to take down their post.
Reliability: Lina Esco was able to create a global campaign through this movement, the link to her site for credibility is: http://freethenipple.com/why-free-the-nipple/

KeyWords: Information galaxy, opposing organizations, competition, strong positions.
Summary: This article is in fact very similar to Resource 3, in the way that it labels media outlets as having a defined bias, depending on several factors.
My opinion: I agree with the distrust People have with media. Simplest example: If you're a democrat and you decide to watch Fox News, you might have very different positions, because of their favoring, and their bias may become super apparent to you.
Reliability: Newspaper article published by the Atlantic.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/how-biased-is-the-media-really/2012/04/27/gIQA9jYLmT_story.html?utm_term=.141191f30f02
Summary:
Mr. Farhi points out that 77% believe media tend to "favor one side". In comparison to the same survey taken in 1985 which only 53% believed so. That shows that world's trust in media has declined due to the media's increasing bias. Mr. farhi does mention that their are watchdogs that are ready to pick up on false news, watchdogs is also a recently new term.
My opinion: I do believe there is a lot of bias in media, that being said many news outlets are open about it by stating what political stand point they take.
Reliability: Article published on a prominent newspaper, that is typically trusted, and we are also provided with the journalist.

"It's Not All Bad" as the article states, after viewing the video listing 5 ways social media impacts are brain, I decided to look up something that would go against AsapScience's beliefs, but be just as reliable if not more.
Key Words: Some key words I came across-News alert, Traffic messaging, global natural disaster relief report, and growth of teen awareness.
Summary: Mr. Agrawal did an exceptional job at highlighting the importance of several gestures social media enables that we tend to overlook. He basically points out how media is a way of having messages transmitted at a large scale which leads to conventional  understanding.
My opinion: This being the primary sentiment I was leaning towards as I began this project, I was able to agree with numerous view points Mr. Agrawal took.
reliability: I managed to find out more about AJ Agrawal, author of the article, who is a regular journalist for Forbes. In comparison to his other writings and this one it is clear that none of it is exaggerated or not backed up some how.
