I Hate The Media

When i turned on the TV, i saw some special report by my local TV stations. I know what it is, i already heard about it on the Korean radio. Images of twisted metal that hang in the air and smoke that slowly drift toward the grey sky. And then i see the title of the news program. WHEN TERRORISTS ATTACK!!

I hate the media nowadays. They try to make everything entertainment. I pity London, i do. But the media just sticks in the good parts and tries to make it look like some video game gone wrong. And the way they made some poor guy that survived the crash talk to them was pitiful. I could swear that the women that was interviewing him was almost smiling.

" Here we have someone that survived the crash and has cell phone pictures of the crash."

Then they zoom to a black guy thats trembling. What the hell, give him a moment to let him deal with this. Instead the grab him by the ears and throw him in a chair.

" I hear that you have survived the crash ( Really? No shit! ) Can you tell us what it was like?"

"Yeah, there was a bright flash of light, smoke was coming from outside. But then the engine started burning and smoke started filling up the room. We tried to open the windows but smoke started coming in. But we needed to open the windows or else the engine smoke would suffocate us. People were going crazy, everyone was screaming and breaking the windows, trying to get out............."

Here the guy starts breaking down while they cut him off the screen and only show the images he took. And to totally ignore his personal feeling, the women blandly adds," I can only imagine what it felt like for you............"

When something happens international, its pitiful. When something happens in America, its controversal. London got 10 mintues, while 9/11 got 2 weeks.

And so it shall be................
