GP Task 1

The media has the ability to manipulate the ideas of people. By only showing people the information they want the people to see, the media changes the opinion of the people, making them assume what they see is true. The general public will have no idea what is happening in reality. Hence the media is able to prevent the people from getting the true picture and supports whatever cause the media wants them to. Personally, i feel that the fact that that the the media abuses its powers to achieve its aims is totally unacceptable. the public have the rights to know what is true and should not be kept in the dark about the harsh reality. It is necessary for the people to support their soldiers in war, but using it as and excuse to cover up the atrocities they committed is violation of the rights of the people.
