News media
May 1 2007, 4:50 PM EDT
I believe the news media is going way to far when it comes to tragedies that happen in our society. Now i believe that news should be reported but the media goes above and beyond the regular fact of just reporting the events. The media records private moments of people crying over the deaths of their friends and or family and shows it to the world. Privacy for most people involved doesn't exist because the media floods the scene and the town in hopes of getting a glimpse of people's responses first-hand. They bring in specialists and psychologists who give responses that any person with a high school education can say. Then they begin to raise questions about what the possible causes are, Columbine was Marilyn Manson and violent games, Virginia Tech brought about an outcry for gun control. The media needs to be objective and only report the news; not bring on debates about the causes and what should be done to prevent it in the future. Some people are nuts its as simple as that, people kill each other everyday and there will always be people killing each other, no matter if Marilyn Manson goes away, violent games are abolished and there is gun control, there will be always be murders.
Do you find this valuable?
