The media sensationalizes an event and creates a reaction that they know will create more death and misery that is news worthy. The media omits facts in order to create a story that enrages the populace. The WTO riots here in Seattle were created by the media, 15ish years ago. The way they reported it throughout the day, they drew onlookers and parasites into downtown Seattle. The presentation of the facts, the way they presented them, is what caused the conflict between police and the crowd. |
This is so true....The media has a big part in how people react. It's to the point where I don't even like listening to the news anymore. My son was in the military and was in Iraq fighting and that was the worst year of my life. Listening to the news then was horrific. I didn't know what to believe because I did not have the luxury of being able to speak to my son. You just don't know what to believe anymore from the media.
