"News and Imagery are always a selected truth."I agree that the media has become biased and pushes hard with their own agenda.
In my opinion,the author of the article: Seven Power Lenses, is conspiratorial. If news journalist are so pressed for time, how do they find the time to position everything?
I believe that our President has a very hard job, and that he has people around him that help with his reputation and help create his message for the American people and the rest of the world.
The article describes the President Bush wearing an American Flag on his lapel, I was not shocked. He was the President of the United States. On the other hand our current President, Mr. Obama took his pin off his lapel during his race for president, and there was an outrage. Imagery matters, for instance. When President Obama and his campaign changed the United States Flag for their 2012 campaign, there was an anger across America.
The picture at the right is making
fun of Chris Matthews a MSN news reporter, worshiping Obama. This is similar to pictures of Jesus and his Disciples. And finally the Newsweek Magazine, says it all.
Comparing President Obama to Jesus "The Son of God" makes me so sad. But it does show that those in the media are biased. In my opinion, "A man put on this high of a pedestal only has a long way to fall."
The media used to tell us what happened, but now they are in the business of trying to persuade using imagery. It is my hope that as we become more informed of the media practice, people will use their minds and look beyond the mainstream media, with the hope of finding real truth.
