In order to get high rating results it is very important to use different kinds of techniques. One of such techniques was the disappearing of actual truth. It can be observed from one episode of the show called ‘We aint got dames’. The desire of Mike was to illustrate their truth as for illegal sweatshops, but Brian thought that such kind of information would be very serious for the auditory. Well, some little quarrel took place, but finally the high ego of Mike won, his story was accepted.
But in the screens we had seen not really his story but redone into a kind of story about fashion. That story was noticed by the auditory and was accepted as real and interesting one. From such situation we can say that our people are not really aware about the facts which are going on. They can believe in everything that would be proposed by the TV with only one requirement: interesting and pretty people as the heroes.

There are many techniques used in Frontline which expose the manipulation that current affairs shows go through to gain ratings. Irony is shown in the episode 'The siege', where Brooke asks Mrs. Forbes to sign a contract so only frontline can report her story because other representatives can be dishonest. So, Brooke promised not to disseminate the information and to be loyal.
The fact was that Frontline did those actions which were produced as the negative points of other shows. It was the example of irony. So, we should not believe in everything that given us from the screen because we are not aware bout the reality of the pictures as nowadays camera could create something unbelievable.
