Bad Things Shown On Media


I know you can't really see the picture, but I will tell you what it is. This is a news paper article about the capture of Ed Gien. This is bad thing shown in media. What I mean by bad is that, its bad news, but seems to grab alot of attention, and many people seem to remember things that are bad that happened, instead of the good. For example, we all remember 9/11 but we don't remember a man, saving a family from a burning house, or maybe its just me. But what I do know, is that if there is bad news, tragic or scary, it will be shown on the front page, first thing in the news on tv, or can be seen on the internet, which ever you can get your news. But alot of times, they news will have a 'warm fuzzy' story; at the end, something such as puppies being adopted or a little kids beating cancer. But none of those things seem to stick to the human mind. We might think that its a good thing, but we usually focus on the bad, because the media have 'brainwashed' us to take more interest in the bad, and make us think about it. Before there was major issues in the world, perhaps before WWI and WWII or perhaps after, there wasn't to much going on, besides politcal, and alot of people didn't put much care in it. But now days we have politcal disasters, such as the shooting of the Senator, in Arizona. We have natural disasters such as Katrina, Haiti, and the earthquakes and tsumai in Japan. As I said several times before, we seemed more focused on the bad things, because we want to know more for it.
