Unfortunately, the media tend to highlight what is sensational at the moment. Society would be better served if the media reported or focused more fully on events and trends that will ultimately have the most long- term significance.
The speaker asserts that rather than merely highlighting certain sensational events the media should provide complete coverage of more important events. While the speakers assertion has merit from a normative standpoint, in the final analysis I find this assertion indefensible.
个人认为这一段最后一句可以背掉放入自己建立的句子库内。
运用了让步的手法，先是分析原作为何出此观点的.原因，然后再驳斥，提出自己的正确观点。我们要特别留意第一句的架构，虽然过分复杂，但是好像ets就是喜欢这种变态句子。
However, for several reasons I find the medias current trend toward highlights and the sensational to be justifiable. First, the world is becoming an increasingly eventful place; thus with each passing year it becomes a more onerous task for the media to attempt full news coverage. Second, we are becoming an increasingly busy society. The average U.S. worker spends nearly 60 hours per week at work now; and in most families both spouses work.
从现实需要和事实证明两方面来驳斥原文观点，这一手法不妨借鉴。必须补充的是，运用的First,second这样的分层次分析使得结构鲜明，表意清晰也是值得学习的。
