What is media literacy? This can be taken in two different ways, one is to be literate enough to write media reports and articles or to be able to convey news to the audience and the second is to have knowledge conveyed by the media to the audience and readers.
The media literate who convey the news to audience are considered media literate after several years of hard work. They have to study for to get to the position where they are capable enough to accomplish this task. Thus they not only have to be well aware of the current events but also have to convey it to the people.
The second type of media literate are the people who are well aware of the knowledge of the current events as presented to them by the newspaper or the television. These people may also include those who have knowledge as to how the department of media works but are not a part of it. Media literacy plays an important role in one’s life as it does not only help acknowledge a future difficulty but also help one prepare for it. For example, the media informs the people of the future climate change as reported by the weather department, to prepare the people for the harsh weather.

DONALD TRUMP
"GDP was zero essentially for the last two quarters."
— PolitiFact National
That is not true. He said this in one of his campaigns just to give hope to people that he will be the best leader. Trump may have had tried to convey that the GDP was not good but he phrased it wrongly.
Essentially other candidates too try to promote their campaigns but using false thoughts is not good.
HILLARY CLINTON
It is true and gun control should be imposed to a limit as yet there is discrimination in the United States
BERNIE SANDERS
It is true that if opportunity to improve is provided the people can all make a good living and it will not just be left for a few ( not referring to communism, just better opportunity)

Happiness is conditional, freedom is natural and you opt not to learn how to be free, it is a given right.
S'more #13 - Gaslighting
Gaslighting is to manipulate someone by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.
The gaslighter wants to appear superior to the one being gaslighted. By making their victim feel completely helpless with very low self-esteem, the abuser has complete domination over them, so they are very successful in manipulating their victim to get whatever it is they want. This can range from simply having their ego stroked by feeling like they are significantly better than the person they are with, and at the extreme end to being able to gain financial, sexual or material benefits as their victim feels too emotionally and mentally weak to fight back.
