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?

You don’t get it.

The media is getting paid to draw stories.

The more you like it the less you’ll talk about it.

if a little old lady saved her blind dog from getting run over by a train people will be like “o that’s sweet”

If the enemy killed their own by pushing them in-front of a train all hell breaks lose.

The media is feeding off of your own anger, from the stories they produce....

@User41 I see they are fostering anger and social division?
But which is their ultimate goal? To start civil wars?

To get more observers.

More observers to their websites = more sponsors.

So they created debate.

This way both sides come and clash angrily.

The more angry the two clash the more views they get.

The more views they get the more money they get from their sponsors.
