Porque os jornais nos fazem de estúpidos

Nov, 5 2010 11:11

Absolutamente a ler, este artigo sobre as diferenças de percepção da “realidade” entre os jornais. Partindo do caso da publicação de 400.000 documentos classificados pela Wikileaks. É só uma questão de continente? Ná.

The British media (Guardian, Independent, BBC, etc.) came down quite hard on the atrocities reported therein and cited un-reported torture stories, civilian murders and children shot dead. However, the US headline story in New York Times was “Wikileaks founder is on the run,” completely sidelining the subject of war-logs and harping upon the personal life and daily routine of the Wikileaks founder. Why the disparity? Why are some people entitled to more truth than others? And what is the truth anyway?
