I Am Tired Of The Mis-direction By The Mass Media

A couple of days ago Germany was shocked by a horrific crime. An Eritrean refugee pushed a mother and her son onto train tracks in Frankfurt railway station. The kid was run over by a train and died.

Today the main newspaper in Spain (no need to say its ideology) shows this headline: 'a horrific crime is used as an excuse by German far-right to fuel xenophobia'.

What are really the intentions of western media? It is obvious that they are not just trying to change public opinion. It goes beyond that. They provoke. They try to create the spark that causes a huge fire. But what is the ultimate reason to create that untenable division in our societies?

To soften the options of the people who are and were so blatantly opposed to the decisions their governments have made. Such as opening the doors to Europe.

@Gumba1000 I don't see how such despicable nauseating headlines can soften people. At least with me they achieve the opposite result.

@Cierzo Because they are not highlighting the obvious repeat causes of problems. Xenophobia would not exist if such heinous crimes as family killing from refugees didn't exist. But the media spins it as its Germans being bad, when it's the refugees and the problems associated with them, that are the real bad. Misdirection like you said.
