Postman and Powers claim on stationary pictures, moving pictures and language are that there is a difference between them all. Stationary pictures do not give you a sense of what is happening within it, it only give you a image of what is being shown at that time without any language to describe what is taking place at that point in time. Moving pictures and Language are very similar to each other because in a moving picture the viewer can get a better idea of what is happening before their own eye’s and language also can express what is happening within that moving picture or even a stationary picture with some sort of language writing on it would give a better explanation of what is going on in the picture.
Postman and Powers claim about today’s newscast is that the viewer should be aware of what the anchors are trying to tell you by re-creation or by re-presentations of the story that they are try to get out. They want us to keep in mind that everything that we hear may or may not be the whole truth. The anchors may use Judgment and interference instead of description of the story and yes I do agree with them for the simple fact that everybody bends the truth somewhat to make a great story.
