From this article "spilling blood with oil in Iraq", what have you learnt here about the media in the way they present what is perceived over what is real?

The media is a powerful tool of influence in the world today. Messages, news are all being conveyed to the people by the media. For example,just viewing a short Television advertisement constantly for a week can just change one's perception about a product. Many often believe the media as the media acts as a medium between the things that happens and the rest of the people. Often as such, we do not see the whole issue of things, but rather only the views of the journalists, so in order to see the full picture, we have to keep an open mind and read news from many sources.

In this article, "spilling blood with oil in iraq" it shows us many creative untruths the media creates for people to believe and support the Iraq war. Quoting from the news article published on the 6th April 2003, "it has always been clear that Iraq today was never a match for a combination of military forces that included the world's mighties war machine." yet the reason for the Iraq war was that they believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and the purpose of the war was to find and destroy them all.

Creatives untruths were told, in this article, it states that " Among the bigger lies still current are that the war is somehow lawful, or at least not illegal, and that oil is not a motivating factor." But the irony was that "Yet the US oil industry has been an early and enthusuatic war supporter" Iraq sits upon an area which oil is found. So is this war a war to destroy weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or just held as excused to get oil from the country.

From this article, i learnt that with the help of the media, people perspective can be changed and tuned into actually believing the media of the things which are in the first place a bunch of lies. I also learnt that we have to source for more evidence and information before we can believe what is published by the media. In conclusion, the media is a good way to get our information from, but inorder to get the full picture of things, we have to explore different sources which will then help us believe and get to the truth of the matter.
