The News Can Be Violent

Have you ever wondered why the daily news can be outright violent? Am I the only one, the personally See's the news more as a circus show, or visual entertainment, other than simply informing us? Why can't the news be more straight foreword, rather than utilized subliminal scare tactics, and overly dramatic words to convey a event?


Why? That is where the money is. People prefer the news to be perverse entertainment covering Death, destruction, chaos, sex, drugs, and constantly reminding scared mother's about potential pedophiles and ways they can get a chance to molest their daughters or sons. People are really attracted to bad News and the American audiences who love the news can be considered somewhat masochists.


And you know what's really fucked up, the Media loved 9/11. Because the more powerful the disaster, the more money they make from sponsors. During the events of a disaster, media outlets across the globe go into a all out coverage war. The winner, which covered more of that specific event gets more sponsors.

I have made a lot of controversial statements. But there is some truth to what I have said even if you are not aware of the specific dangers of the news. I dare you to watch the news tonight, local preferably, and count how much violent descriptive language and creepy images you seen. Then determine if you want to let a four year old watch the news. Or read this CNN News Story.

This brought tears to my eyes.
