What the US Media lets us see

I am currently making a project on my English class about the war marketing of the 2000's. The propaganda shown by the army, or the marines, or even the cost guards, encourage teens to join them if they want to reach higher levels of strength, or to be someone in life by doing something fascinating. The movies help to change many perspectives of people. And the media, specially the television and the radio, is the source we rely on to know what happens around the world. Most of these sources are managed by the government, so its is easy to manipulate the news to their convenience, or at least that is what Allissa Miller lets us know with her presentation. Pay close attention to animation she shows about the countries. Miller says "Covering Britney is cheaper", this shows how shallow the community is, and how government and TV companies take advantage of this to earn some easy money. What we see the most on the news is about what is happening in Iraq. This is because of the war, the major focus of the country right now. Watch this video and give your opinions.
