American Media...

[Antares]

Okay, so the actual topic of this post isn't a news event but it is based around a news event and...yea

I wanted to address how Yahoo! news completely made Obama look like a bad guy when after you watch the video he didn't do anything that the story suggested.

Now I know that organizations do this a bit but this was really kinda ridiculous.

So this is the picture of the Yahoo! homepage that millions of people see within a matter of hours...



After you look at the picture, have a look at the video that they are referring to...

Now after seeing the video, and the images that are suggested by homepage are completely exaggerated and just false.
It pisses me off because it makes him look like a bad person when he didn't do much...

I think Yahoo needs to change this or issue an apology for misrepresentation

Part of reporting news is knowing how to make it sound and look.

Part of reporting is also stating false accusations and making up facts when said 'facts' are not there. Yahoo is just the worst news site...half the articles they have aren't news at all. It's such big news when I don't know that one of the Jonas brothers is doing or what the next Twilight movie will contain.

I seriously feel bad for Obama getting bad press. I mean, I don't support him - let alone mass media - but the guy gets fire sent up his ass every day. I'm surprised he hasn't cracked yet.

To be honest, in that picture, he doesn't look that angry as they make him seem. He just looks aggravated in it.
