People are constantly exposed to media that is full of biases due to framing techniques. This is social constructivism which is the construction of ideologies and belief systems and this is how the news media’s major purpose is usually achieved through the process of framing news. The framing technique is all about manipulating facts to make them support certain ideologies and certain set of objectives to maintain the status quo and serve the establishment. People consciously agree with what is being presented to them because they are psychologically convinced that what they receive is accurate. It is brainwashing since it does not give the public and the audience a room for thinking, rather, it does all the thinking for them and tells them how they should react and feel about happenings and events. News media are not presenting the truth, but they present what they want people to think of as truth.
