media and lies cont...
So a kid from a highschool near my area was killed in a car accident about a year ago and it caused a lot of attention from the media. He was a young teenager who had been hit by a drunk driver late at night but that is all the news told us. Now the young boy had friends with him at the time and those friends and the young boy had been smoking pot late at night when this incident happened. The media never released anything about the young teens getting high when this incident happened and only mentioned that the driver had been drunk. I think the fact that the teens were high changes the story a bit because those children shouldn't have been out that late at night walking around streets getting high. I have seen many other incidents like this where the media hides things and i don't think the media will ever really tell you the whole truth.

Yeah...there was a boy that got shot and killed back when I was in high school. In the news, he was portrayed as a nice, respectable young man and diligent student and he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. In actuality, according to his close friends and relatives, he was a hothead who always sought attention and provoked trouble with gang members. It was rumored that he was the one who called them out the night he got shot so they could "handle their differences". I agree that media doesn't always tell audiences the whole story...
yeah i've seen that a lot in media too. i just think it's wrong how they don't tell the truth of what really happened.
I agree also. I used to have a friend in middle school who was in a car accident and died. At that time, I guess that popularity was always a major problem and he wasn't that "popular". Afterwards, rumors began to spread and so it becomes, misleading directions to what had happend during the car accident. Furthermore, I believe that most people spread lies, lies, and lies.
