In my research I was able to come to the conclusion that media is something in which determines a lot. As of today individuals use media to figure out what happens in the world. Media is something everyone uses. There are different kinds of sources in which people get their information from. Some sources people even just most more compared to other sources. I used Fox News and CNN in order to establish the two different news and the same story. I compared CNN views on the Black Lives Matter Movement and Fox News views on the Black Lives Matter movement. Overall we are able to see how one news cast gives negative imputes on a certain group of individuals and also gives a negative impact on the group as a whole and another news cast who has people from the black lives matter movement speak up for what the movement really is and not the media switching it to be something that is not. The black lives matter movement is not a movement in which we preach pro black instead I is a movement in which we try to justify that black lives matter as much as white lives and any other race. Fox News uses its broadcast to say the black people are criminals ,murders, and etc. They give their biases in which they use the black race to determine criminality being that they say that back people are the real criminals of America. While Fox News use its media to broadcast that criminality shouldn’t be something in which is determine by the color of a persons skin which I agree with. Fox News was not able to call these white suprematist organization in which goal is to incite hate against individuals who are not 100% white, or pro white. As a whole they use their media to incite fear against individuals who watch them. It is important that everyone should do more research than what they see on the news or read in an article because nw of days people use the media to label certain groups in order to hide from the truth within America. Watching Bill O Riley video was extremely surprising to me. I say that this video was surprising to me because instead of using media to incite positivity he uses his stand to tell how a certain race is basally the only criminals out now. He also called African Americans suspicious. I also can not believe the ignorance of Rob Smith, as a black man he uses his platform to help downplay the African American community. Media is something that people shouldn’t not play with at all , Fox New uses their platform to try and justify police killing black unarmed individuals. Its scary being a black woman with a younger brother, who has to prepare him for a life where America turn their backs on people that look like me. It is extremely important for people to do their research on certain topic because these implicit biases can lead to something bigger. They tell us to fear African Americans and not fear the man who goes out with the intent to incite hate on people because they look a certain way. They try to turn their back from the major issue here which is the fact that Racism is real, and inequality is something that many people face on a daily bases. I feel like everyone knows this already but is scared to admit the truth. The black live matter preach on a daily bases that are lives should be equivalent to any other race life on a daily bases and they use the media to switch it around to try and make it look like we are the animals and the criminals when we are trying to be the voices for the many individuals who have lost their lives due to the injustice within the system. The media is a positive and negative thing people learn from the media. As a result of that people should be more careful of their intentions. Media is not a place where we blame a group of person and broadcast to th world that that race is a criminal and all sorts of negative thing. They use the black lives matter movement to say that they incite hate, and are people in which we should be scared of while they have these white supremacy groups out here killing people, and broadcasting hate with no one really speaking up about it.
