Just read an excellent article about the media reporting in the Ferguson case. I truly believe the media is the root of many of the evils in this world. Something has to change as it is infecting the minds of its citizens and brainwashing us. As the author states, he knows this article will not change how a reporter reports. As long as there is financial incentive to report drama rather than facts, it will not change. I think it is our job as citizens to not support this kind of reporting. To turn off the t.v. To investigate both sides. Explore the reliability of the reporting and not assume the media has it right. Not assume the reporting is based on facts. But instead, I think a safer assumption is that the media is reporting on what would make the biggest reaction, make the biggest buzz at the water cooler, and throwing facts away for subjectivity that supports "their" story. What do you guys think?
