The media played an important role around the world. News were broadcasted in many different countries. Their goal was to help people understand the event and on-going war on terror that occurred. Propaganda played an important role after the 9/11 attack. The New York Times was responsible for the propaganda behind 9/11 and the 9/11 wars. They promoted false information and ignored most relevant facts. According to research they sold the official account of 9/11 which was a story built on just as many falsehoods. The times continued to sell different explanation from officials. They never reported any critical analysis of the official story. The stories provided for the Twin Towers and WTC 7, were proven to be wrong. The media had the power at the time to take advantage of the situation. I feel that their main goal was to provide false information because they felt that people would not know the actual account. The New York Times was able to distort and provide bias information. This is proven that the media no matter of their reputation in society that they can mislead

    Media platforms like television and radio primarily spread propaganda created by the government. Citizens spend a lot of time watching television or listening to the radio and it’s a big part of their life. Almost everyone in the city owns a television or radio and believes things they see and hear from them. Montag escapes the police, but the T.V. chase is still playing out because they don’t want people to know that they let a fugitive get away. They found an innocent man on the street, labeled him as Montag, then killed him on the broadcast. “‘They’re faking. You threw them off at the river. They can’t admit it. They know they can hold their audience only so long. The show’s got to have a snap ending, quick!’... ‘The innocent man stood bewildered’… ‘The victim was seized by Hound and camera in a great spidering, clenching grip’” -Granger (Bradsbury 142). Media propaganda is so powerful today because everyone is susceptible to it. The press (newspapers, magazines, and T.V.) uses their tactics to shape people’s opinions. According to Johnnie Manzaria, the press is important because the most current news and info is spread through them everyday. People can believe anything the media says, because they have a popular opinion or reputation. Even if they spread propaganda, some people will inevitably believe it because “the news said so”, and is a very influential resource ("Media's Use of Propaganda to Persuade

    1. Although most journalists would state that their main objective in reporting on a story is to maintain impartial, this with the onset of cable news stations as well as the internet has become increasingly rare. Cable news stations such as CNN and FOX news are increasingly influenced by the politicians and corporations which control most of their funding. As Michael Moore states in his documentary “ Fahrenheit 9/11”, which ironically is another good example of bias in the media, the man in charge of Fox News’ decision desk on election night was none other then George Bush’s first cousin. I would seem impartially may be compromised in this situation. To say that the media worked together with the media to promote the Iraq war may be an exaggeration, however the media in know way held the government responsible for the fraud that they committed in invading Iraq. The media, whether knowingly or not, promoted the Bush Administrations agenda in Iraq by arousing overwhelming feelings of nationalism in the American people. It then became unpopular, or un-american to oppose the war. In the case of the Iraq war the media failed to properly fulfill its responsibility of maintaining accountability in government as well as most importantly reporting in an impartial style.

  • 9/11 Truther Theory

    284 Words  | 1 Pages

    The acceptance of the 9/11 Truther Movement can be explained by events or ideas from the late 20th century. Postmodernist culture, the immediacy of movies and television, the mistrust of the government following the Watergate scandal, as well as the need for comfort in an age of uncertainty, gave rise to the influx of conspiracy belief in politics and the media in the late 20th century, thus preparing Americans to believe that the attacks in September of 2001 were an inside job, perpetrated by none other than President Bush himself. 17 years have passed since the 9/11 attacks, yet Truthers still try to persuade others that 9/11 was a conspiracy. While some conspiracy theories interfere with the rebuilding period following the supposed conspiracy,

    September 11, 2001 marked one of the most tragic events in United States history. As a way to assure the safety and wellbeing of U.S. citizens shortly after being attacked by al-Qaeda, President Bush stated, “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts may shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve”. Although President Bush was seen a source of security during a time of need, many citizens felt that his words were not genuine and part of a dramatic story the government wanted its people to believe. Despite the side taken, both perspectives of the argument can agree that the U.S. was attacked by a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda. On that Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and the fourth into a field in rural Pennsylvania after passengers fought back against the terrorist to try and regain control of the plane. This is the story the government wants its people to believe. However, the truths about the attacks on 9/11 are much more frightening. On September 11th, 2001, the United States government betrayed its citizens by allowing the destructive attacks on the Twin Towers, WTC-7, the Pentagon, and Shanksville.

    The media is often considered to be biased. The reason for this is because they do not act neutral on the things that they report on. They usually give their point of view and tend to warp the information so it’s easily digestible by the average person. This type of “nugget feeding,” can influence the judgment of some one who has no idea what is going on. The media tends to sensationalize the news by making it seem dramatic, and compelling. This hooks the viewer, and keeps them tuned in. The purpose of this is for ratings, and most importantly money. The media has become less professional, and their morality has gone down hill. The editors/gatekeepers decide what information is sent out for the public to see, and hear. This is another way that the news is shaped for our viewing pleasure.

    Although tragedies are often quite sad and tragic, many can often lead to a better tomorrow with the right kind of leadership. For example, world leaders like former U.S. President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair use their speech to motivate people into overcoming a tragedy and turning it into an opportunity to make the future greater and safer for posterity.

To accomplish this task, both Bush and Blair had to utilize tone and rhetorical strategies that would appeal to their audience.
