Perfect Fit

Good timing

The basis of this class is to reveal the role that the media and religion play in the field of politics in the United States; this article broadens the argument and gives some insight to how the world reacts to a similar concept. While the Muslims feel that the world is blaming religion for many of the major crisis going on today, they feel that it is actually the media that incites the majority of problems by trying to pin on religion against another in attempt to increase interest in their product. The pointed out many examples of times where the media immediately pointed their finger at a group after a serious crime, such as the Oklahoma City bombings, a crime committed by an anti-US militia group. Now, I see where these leaders are coming from, it doesn't take too much work to realize the media loves to spark tensions between people because it is the easiest way to expand viewership. The issue I have with this claim though, is that it is trying to eradicate blame from the religious aspect, an aspect that I feel truly has caused a majority of the world's biggest debacles. I do not think there will ever be a day when the media reports fairly, because it would just not be an interesting and eye-catching. But again, I do not feel it is the media to blame here. It is not their fault the so many people flock to this type of news like quarantine patients to their cure. Until the American public, and the rest of the world can lose their arousal with the out-of-the-ordinary and be more in tune with reality, the media will continue to dominant opinion and sway their audience with biased stories created to cause controversy.
