The Media & Control.

Do media moguls control us?
To a degree/extent they do (and that's only because we let them).

For example: 9/11.

When 9/11 occurred news papers, television stations, the radio and other media reported what they had to report (I rather not get into everything because I'm sure we all know).

People would make general assumptions (from what they heard). Everything from being Muslim, to (my) name, (my) appearance would all be associated with the attacks of 9/11. Not knowing all the facts the media chooses to present information in a way it thought was important.

Terrorism is not what Muslims are all about but at the time people believed what they believed because of how the media chose to portray the story (without knowing all the facts). This only happens as a result of how the media presents its information.
