Not Pictured Here
August 12, 2008


Some of the articles that I have read are clearing up what the presidential candidates have said, others clear up what the news have said. In the "Not Pictured Here" article a news reporter made it seem that the people in the picture were lobbyist. This however turned out to not be true. Though it would have made an interesting story it is a lie. The things that news reporters say are to sell a story, to grasp the viewer’s attention. This is how they get paid, from viewers. So why say things the people watching wont like or be interested in, that doesn't make money.
