The media lies and hides so many information from us “the viewers” and this makes me very dissapointed at the fact that people give the media their trust and a lot of the times they lie to us or give us false information. The movie “Hero” directed by Stephen Frears get the point across that we shouldn’t trust in the media and that we shouldn’t believe everything we see on T.V.
At the end of “Hero” the media finds out who was the real person who comitted the heroic act (Bernie Laplante) and that they have been promoting the wrong guy (John Bubber) all this time. They decide to stay quiet about this and just keep on pretending that John Bubber commited the heroic act, because this means lossing the trsut of their viewers. This makes me ask myself, “Are we being lied to right now by the media?” and “Have we ever been lied to by the media?”. Unfortunally we have been lied to by the media. Not only once nor twice, We’ve been lied to by them plenty of times and we most of the time end up buying everythign they tell us.
One really big lie that I’ve spoken about before is Manifest Destiny during the 19th century. The media had a lot to do with helping this lie spread all around America in news papers and even drawings. For the one who may not know about Manifest destiny, this was a huge lied made up by the government just so they could expand America they wanted to rule the world. They ended up telling the people who lived in America that God was the one who told them to expand America.
Many gossip magazines lie to their readers with false story about celebrities. For example The other day I was reading about a Gossip magazine making up that Cher was going to be playing cat women in the batman movie. She later on cleared up this false rumors. It’s sad that the media does things like this to us isntead of telling us the true stories and whats really happening. Not only is magazines that be lying because there’s a bunch of gossip websites out there that be witing false ruosrs about celebrities just so they could get more viewers.
I myself don’t own a T.V because I’ve always know that the media lies to us. Who doesn’t lie? I preffer to stay away from all of their false rumors and hiden lies and live my own life. They will keep on lying and I don’t think they’ll never stop. They have us under control and we’re are too hypnotized by their lies for us to see that. Hopefully one day this will be over and they’ll decide to change their ways and let us know whats really going on so we could prepare ourselves if we need to. I remember my mom advicing me that is always better to tell the truth because one lie can bring 10 more lies.
So next time you turn on you’re T.V just know that they’re not being an hundred percent real to you and that the media is always hiding things away from the viewers. They lied because they know we believe them and we believe that they should really know whats going on and they wouldn’t lie to us. The media is like a secrect society like the NASA . Only them knbow the real side of the story and I don’t understand why they believe is good to just feed us false rumors sometimes and hide us from the truth.
