Headlines

[Eye]

I didn't want to hijack the health care thread. But it did get me thinking..


I saw an episode during shark week. The summer of the Shark, or something like that.


There was a summer not too long ago where people were getting attacked by sharks all over the world. And it seemed as if sharks were going crazy that year. Everyone was afraid of the water. There were interviews of people who were sitting on the beach refusing to go in.

At the end of the program it stated that that summer there were like 180(don't remember the exact number) shark attacks, 4 less attacks than average a year!


To me it's amazing how the media controls how things are perceived.

It's how all the rumors and lies and crap about the health care plan start and grow.

I think people read the headlines, and form their own conclusions. One missing word, or using a different word or two can change the WHOLE meaning.
