News is corrupted



When news covers the war, they never show the reality of war. They like glorify war. Even though we know war is harsh and ugly. It’s hard to believe a news reporter, who supposed to be unbiased and tells both side of the story, to show best parts of the war. People would think reporters would do this, but they didn’t tell the truth about war. It was like they weren’t allowed to tell whole story. Maybe because of what happen during the Vietnam War the civil unrest. They were scare that might happen again. Probably because it was war we shouldn’t been a part of once again. It was crazy that we were able to watch the bombings of Iraq like a Monday night football game.  Every news outlet had their camera people cover the bombings. I remember as kid watching this. I can say I was brainwashed by the news thinking that all Iraqis were bad people. Then I got older understood that it was very small group of people we were fighting. If I was brainwashed think that then think about all people who truly believe the Iraqis were bad people. It was almost like the news was a recruitment tool for the military for long period of time. It is sad to think that news isn’t doing their job as a check for local affairs. It supposed to inform people of what is happening all around them. But, instead they talk about sensation stories that really don’t matter, but what needs to be told to the people is consider not that important.
