screw the media, this is propaganda

Todays straits times (09-03-2005) front page ran an article on Sheena.

According to the newspapers , Sheena is a pitiful kindergarten kid who's body was found along with her mom and brother's corpses when the police busted their house, after her dad jumped to his death at the corridor.

The teacher from school claimed that Sheena was a good student in class and blah blah.
Well did you actually believe that?
Come on, would a person speak ill of a deceased.
Anyways if the teacher did talk shit about Sheen, it would be censored and edited.

There was little or no coverage of her mom, besides an occasion which she threaten to divorced her husband.

Did Sheena die alone? Hell no. So why the front paper? Why focus the attention on her?

In every country, the media is biased. Troops of partisan journalists/reports spreading rumors of celebrities, creating strings of urban legends, misleading one-sided articles thus causing paranoia, confusion and destroying people's lives.

A very good example is the trial of Charles Manson.
"Manson Family" was often used and seen in the papers when an article of his trial/life was published.
Actually, "Manson Family" consisted just his cult members.

They have no paternal or biological relations to Charles.
That concocted term got everybody thinking that he's evil enough to coax his family to commit murder.

If the press company's head favors a certain political party, that particular guy who's running for election is gonna have a high chance of winning.
His works of charity, stature of determination and how a role model father/citizen he is will be published and televised
In reality, he could be the most inept, unscrupulous and indolent person in the congress.
But if you're not in their good books, you can jolly watch your life been destroyed in the new-papers.

This brings a thought, perhaps celebrities pay paparazzi good money to fabricate, publish and air dirty linen.
After all, any publicity is good publicity.

I oughta watch my ass. Who knows , tomorrow's papers might feature my so called life.
