Entry #5: The First Stone

       In the media everything is twisted, every face, story, walk, and interview. With today's technology many of things can be manipulated. When I was younger I used to live by what the media said about my favorite actors and musicians. Now as I have grown I am finding that the media credibility is small and the majority of the information they throw out is false. I just do not understand how people go out of their way to make a story up about someone. I cannot see how they sleep at night. And the sad this is, is that there is nothing protecting the famous people from being slandered. It really is sad and pathetic. On of my favorite things to hear in the media is how all the successful musicians are part of the illuminati. And because people do not do their research, they believe the media and begin to spread words like a virus. This causes a lot of hatred towards the artists and it just is not fair.
   

My dad always say, well they are in the public eye now so they are open for anything. I think that is the most asinine comment my father has ever said. I  do not agree that a person who become a public figure should have his/her privacy invaded, just so someone can make a buck. These days I tend to stay away from tablots and news channels. There are filled with bias opinions and lies. If all these paparazzi people take their negativity and turn it into something educational and beneficial maybe kids would be a lot smarter and people would actually care more about something other than what Kim K is doing or what drug did Whitney die from.
