Yup, I agree it is the Media. I can say this because I face it almost everyday. The international media to be exact; CNN, BBC and similar.
You see, I'm from the Middle East, specifically Saudi Arabia, and the Media for some reason focuses on bad news like 90% of the time, plus, presenting it in a bad way with seemingly bad intentions.
There was one case here (with out much details and ado) that a woman was ra*ed and arrested as she was part of it, even though she was innocent, and was sentenced to punishment. Yup, a victim that was sentenced to punishment, which is wrong by all means.
The Media distributed this. Later on, the case was studied thoroughly as it should be and all charges against the woman were dropped.
The Media completely neglected this good news leaving only suspicion and hatered against Saudi Arabia.
BTW, in relation to what the American Army is doing around the world, some might condemn, lets say, USA, for example, for bombing Hiroshima. The thing is, we shouldn't jump to conclusions about this. I'm not blaming any one or taking sides here, what I'm saying is, we do not know what would be happening to the world now if that bombing did not take place and somehow that war did not end this way. In a twist, Hitler and the Japanese Army those days, with all due respect to fellow Germans and Japanese, might have made the world a worst place. Who knows.
Sorry for my ranting guys. I just don't like the idea that I am hated by anyone for things I personally as an individual didn't do or even believed in.
Fishing in open sea anyone?
