I figured since we're in a picture thread you would have posted the Dana Carvey meme if you meant it as a quote.

Who manipulates the news to get a desired response?......could it be..Satan?

It is true, when a story breaks like Baltimore. The news channels set such huge blocks of time aside for coverage that they need to fill the gaps in action with something. They can only repeat the same shots of Mr.Gray jacket kicking the cop car windshield so many times. So they put together montages of happenings that they feel has some connection, mainly it grabs the viewers eye. But the reporters will ask leading questions too like "Are you sure you aren't frustrated about the lack of positive help from city hall?"

yes, news will try to sensationalize anything in order to get viewers to be fake concerned, but i highly doubt that the majority of Black people intensely watch old people white news. The whole satan thing is just a classic fictitious line slathed with irony about 10 miles thick that represents misunderstanding motives based on personal beliefs.

Companies that are owned by rich old white guys and take the perspective that in now way are they responsible for their own actions, Most news isn't simply the opinion of the newscaster. Perspectives, content and direction are all pre planned. Fox News is a classic example - using the idea that Merica is a "welfare nation of leechers" and then totally denying they ever do that right in the face of direct evidence of them saying that exact thing.

Another great example of this self denial was on display If you watched the Survivor Finale Last night, it's a really long story and i don't really want to type it out.
But did you watch that?

I have seen every single survivor season but at this age i now wait for them to be done before starting cuz i hate waiting. So no spoilers.

I agree that fox news is awful, im just hoping you think that the left leaning networks are just as bad.
