Way behind, but im catching up! Freedom of the media!

Ok, so it's no secret i'm way behind on everything to do with blogs at the moment, and i've got a few weeks of topics to catch up on, so i'll make each post as short and succinct as possible. First on the firing line is the freedom of the media to over-hype or under-sell any story in the public eye.

The sad fact of the matter is that people WANT the gruesome details, they want the horror, they want to know what went wrong, and how, because these things don't just happen in one country, they happen all around the world, and whats scariest is that they cant be predicted, it's happened in England, America, Australia, Canada, France, not to mention the countries that are LITERAL war-zones right now like Iraq.

Tell me why its perfectly acceptable for me to see an Arab woman crying over her sons severed head, but a white woman next to a body bag is unacceptable and i'll tell you why you're retarded, ok, sure, it was a tragic loss to that woman and her family, but its the job of the news to report the bad stuff as well as the good, sure maybe they could have been more tactful, but its two-way street, they can be aggressive and get you the information you want and need or they can roll over and ask what they're allowed to show us, if you want to like the news, go watch E! idiots.
