The Cancer That Is Harming Our Country: Media Misinformation.
危害祖国的癌症：媒体误导

Hello eEgypt, First I would like to say I am honoured to be able to serve Egypt in this month's congress, I promise to encourage reform in our government by drafting a constitution, a constitution that's aim is to create political stability and defeat political corruption, but lets leave details on that for another article.
你好，埃及。首先我想表达的是，我非常荣幸能够获选本月国会为国效力。我曾承诺以制订宪法的方式促进政府改革，旨在开创政治稳定之局面并打击政治腐败。关于这方面的内容让我们留在下一篇报文中予以详述。

The reason I have decided to write this article is because I have seen an influx of articles in our media that are written with little research and gives the impression that the writer simply clicks on the world map makes a story out of it, not taking a minute to research articles from other countries or perhaps interview Presidents, congress members, and other government officals that have to do with the article they are writing. There are several articles in or media right now that are guilty of this, I do not need to pint out which ones or name their writers, but they know who they are (hopefully), and you know who they are.
我撰写这篇报文的原因是因为我目睹了充斥我国媒体的大量文章。这些文章极少对事件之本源进行研讨，给人的印象是作者只是简单地点了几下世界地图就随便脑补了一个故事，甚至不肯花费一分钟时间去读读国外的相关报道，或者对总统们、议员们或其他类似的，那些真正与他们正在撰写的故事有关联的官员人士进行采访。眼下在我们的媒体上就有几篇文章犯了这样的错误，我不需要点名指出文章在哪里是谁谁谁写的，他们自己知道自己是谁（但愿如此），而你们也知道他们是谁。

Before I go into what can be done to prevent this, let me explain why mis informed articles are so destructive it is better to write no article then a misinformed one.
在我谈及如何防止这样的事情发生之前，请容我解释为什么说误导性文章具有如此大的危害性，以至于写有误导的文章还不如不写。

1.Citizens (especially newer ones) look to media articles as an information source, saying that a nation that is not our enemy is an enemy can confuse them
1.公民们（尤其对于新手玩家）将媒体文章视为一个消息来源。指称一个不是我们敌人的国家为敌人将会混淆事实带来混乱。

2 .Misinformation in politics can cripple the democratic process and is as close to fixing elections as if can get in erepublik, if a Citizen believes in misinformation, they may vote for the candidate who believes (or says he believes) the same misinformation, allowing for incompetent representatives to get in office.
2.政治方面的误导会削弱民主进程影响选举结果，如果选民相信了政治误导提供的信息，他们会投票给那些同样相信政治误导的（或者只是宣称自己相信的）候选人，而最终不称职的代表将得以获选。

3. It hurt's foreign relations, not much is worse then sacrificing your country's security to land swap with a key ally in order to protect them, yet those who are misinformed but have a newspaper, in a nation who is supposed to be supporting you, are telling their readers that you are not land swapping with this nation to protect it, but betraying and invading them, believe it or not this is currently happening in our media, and even authors once considered to be credible are now guilty of this from of misinformation.
3.这将有损于外交关系。没有什么比这更糟——你为保护你的盟国而牺牲自己的国家安全与盟国进行换地，然而那些被误导者开了份报纸，在那个本应支持和理解你的国家告诉他的读者们你不是在换地保护盟国而是在背叛了他们侵略了他们——无论你相信与否，这样的事儿我国的媒体正在搞，一度被认为是可信的撰文者也涉嫌于此。

Now that you see how harmful Misinformation is to our nation how can we prevent it
现在你知道媒体误导的危害了，而以下则是阻止它的方法
1.Do your own research, see an article providing questionable information, look at other articles in eEgypt's media
and decide for your self if it's credible or not.
1.做自己的调查，审视所见文章中的可疑信息，再查阅其他媒体的说法。在这之后再在相信与否中自己作出选择。

2. When you see an article with misinformation, be sure to comment about it to bring this misinformation to the author’s and reader's attention.
2. 当你看到一篇有误导消息的文章时，请务必回复其文，将其谬误处指出，予读者与作者明示。

3. Do not vote or sub the article, this will not only encourage the spread of the misinformation and cause some to believe it true, but also make the author believe what they are writing is good, causing them to continue to spread this misinformation
3.不要V和S那种文章，这只会助长会流言助长声势并导致其他人的轻信。同时你的支持也会使读者自以为自己写的是正确的，变相鼓励他们继续写下去。

4. Write your own articles; make sure to do your research by reading articles and interviewing government officials from the country relevant to your article.
4.自己撰文；确定自己的文章是经过了读报调研和访谈执政人物的成果。

I hope that after you have read this article that I have brought this issue to your attention and will do all you can to fix this problem and in turn help eEgypt.
我希望你们在阅读了这篇文章之后对其所述之事予以关注，并希望各位能够竭尽所能修正这个问题以回报祖国埃及。
