Media & Politics

Since blog kami behabuk tabal sudah I then decided to update our blog hehe. What i've been up to lately? nothing much just kerja and it is tons of them! maybe I should not have take the dissertation module but then again..suka ku jua hahahaha

I wanted to share something with you guys that I think is interesting. I did a presentation last two weeks on how media and the expert determine how we see the rest of the world. Then after my presentation, we were then discussing of whether the west is using their 'knowledge' on the middle east just to dominate the region. some would argued that yes, the west hanya mahu mendominate that region pasal oil and so forth. but the 'west' would then argued that, they just wanted to 'help' by spreading democracy and peace to the region, and so on.

and..when we were discussing pasal ani my seminar leader ingat sesuatu. He said the university he came from yang dari Brazil ada mengendalikan this research group about media and politics. what this group buat is basically see how the media affects the politics. and he remembered masa tu was masa september 11, di mana TV everywhere menyiarkan clip-clip from the incident dan macam2 lah..and His friend who was watching TV at that time ngam-ngam teliat a video yang disiarkan oleh CNN.. di mana ia meliatkan the Palestinians menari-nari gembira pasal US kana attack..then this friend of my seminar leader ckp macam ia pernah meliat this clip before..ia ingat pasal ada kanak-kanak dalam clip atu memakai baju brazil.. so kawan cigu ku ani curious so he went to the uni and cari dalam archive-archive. durang kali walaaa..ada clip atu..and the clip was actually taken 2-3 years before september 11 actually happened and that the Palestinians were actually dancing pasal ada bomb arah israel and obviously not because of september 11..

we can actually see from here like how the government can use the media to gain support from the public..and dengan cara yang tidak betul..dan ofcourse the public nda tau sal ani..and they would just believed this..so pengajaran nya sini..dun trust the media betul2..and one more thing CNN or BBC dan yang sewaktu dengannya akan menyiarkan cerita setampik saja.. so does al-jezzera dan yang sewaktu dengannya..

so again pengajaranya..there are actually three sides of a story..your side..the other side..and the truth..

i think this is the video..
