Spilling blood with oil in Iraq


What have u learnt from the report about the media in the way they present what is percieved over what is real?

i learnt that the media usually does not present what is real, but what the government wants the people to percieve as 'real'. in terms of the ways they present this 'false' infomation to people such that they would percieve them as 'the truth', they usually use people with standing powers or pictures that causes outrage or would stir strong feelings.
i feel that in any single news that is published by the media, it will definitely have people who will celebrate and others who will cry.therefore, the media has the power to choose who they want to cause happiness or anger in.in the process of choosing, the media would definitely consider their own benefits and also the consequences of the choice they make.
