Media "reporting" is a quite interesting

It was a tad drawn out, and fixated on one of two characters,but if you want something vaguely interesting to watch try - Page One: Inside The New York Times (2010)

I particularly liked the part on the "withdrawal of troops".

I think the important thing to realise is that they do this sort of thing to anyone.

When this is done to small companies, people, or things that can potentially scare the country it can really effect things negatively for no reason.

You just need to realise that their business isn't to delivery you news, it's to make money.
How do they do that? the need readers.
How do they attract readers? headlines
