Today I want to discuss with you how simple someone can alter your thought process. Have you ever
watched an ad about McDonald's new burger, it looks so big in the actors hands it is almost about to fall
however when you finally go to McDonalds and order it , it is smaller than you expected. This is the
power of commercialism however, the media has the same power.
Donald Trump gave orders to evacuate our troops from Syria and he did so without congressional
approval. Confused by this many citizens wanted to learn why this was and it came to no results. This
was because the media was suppressing a video of a group of Syrians (found out to be the Syrians we
are aiding) have shot an American child. Ironically when president Obama made this arrangement to
help the Syrians he knew about their "torturers, mass rapists, human organ noshers and head amputators
back in 2013." as Basil Hallward states
Ofc no media would want Trump to look good so they covered it up. But this is not the only time media
has been affecting your views. During Trump's campaign he was viewed on the Kelly show. Shortly
after a "feud" as Jim Rutenberg puts it took place over Twitter in which Trump declared the Kelly show
to be "overrated" and The network that hosts Kelly's show said Trump had a "sick obsession" over
Kelly. Thankfully, this feud calmed down quickly, but not before Kelly and Trump could profit from it
of course. Kelly was able to gain more viewers and sell more of her written pieces, while Donald Trump
was given a new campaign movement.
