MEDIA AND HOW I`VE LEARNT IT OPERATES

The media reaches millions of people each day. The media has a right to report the news and other happenings that occur across the country. What i dont understand about the media is how they can print something which they themselves know is untrue or they just print a sentence of something and dont bother printing the rest as so to twist the truth. Why does the media only print sensational headlines and then they do not bother to print the facts? The facts they hear in court, the ones like i have stated in this blog. Max has been hounded by media since the day he discovered the bodies. They even had him in the media for a traffic violation when the car he was driving had expired rego and insurance. The car belonged to a family member who had overlooked it and Max did not know this when he took the car out. Mind you they had printed the man who is accused of murdering the Singh siblings was today caught driving without rego or insurance and bla bla bla Any time they would print anything on him, that is how they would start their reporting. The media at the beginning had said that Max was infatuated and obsessed with Neelma, they did not say that he was her boyfriend, they made it look like he was her stalker. When Max went to the funeral the police knew he was going to be there and even had a car following him from his home to the funeral, Max went to the funeral with a female friend who lived next door to him. The media had printed that Max showed up at the funeral with his new girlfriend. These examples are only but a few. Max has been charged with a most horrendous crime and he is fighting for his freedom for practically his life. How can any person try to prove their innocence when the media is constantly feeding the public with untruths, biast and one sided reporting? I am not saying that the media should not print at all, i am saying that they should make sure of the facts before they print something and also print the other side of the story. If a normal citizen would go around saying or printing crap about someone else, they would be charged with defamation. In the end people will always form their own opinion, but the media should not ill inform the public for i am sure most are swayed by what they print.
