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. |
My husband and I have been so upset wih the media reporting of this. It seems like they are trying to get the sensational scoop so they distort the true facts or leave some things out to make the story more sensational. I have spent a lot of time in Ferguson since my husband lived there before we got married. What is going on there now is nothing like the Ferguson I saw. I'm sure that every place has their bad element but I can't help but think that bad elements from all over are flocking to Ferguson to cause more problems. I feel so bad for the good people of Ferguson who are standing by helplessly watching the destruction of their community. I am watching this stuff going on in total shock and disbelief.
