So today I go online to check my e-mail and on the msn.com website I see the above Topic...Ahmadinejad: Obama ‘can’t do a damn thing’. So I start to think, man this guy in Iran is really going crazy. I figured at any moment CNN would have a breaking news alert saying we have declared war on Iran. I then read the article. It is so crazy how the media twists words to make them seem totally different then how the were meant to be seen. I will paste that part of the article:
"American materialist politicians, whenever they are beaten by logic, immediately put their finger on the trigger like cowboys," he said. "Mr. Obama, you are a newcomer (to politics). Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience. Be careful not to read just any paper put in front of you or repeat any statement recommended," Ahmadinejad said in the speech, aired live on state TV. "(American officials) bigger than you, more bullying than you, couldn't do a damn thing, let alone you."
Now this is totally different then what was portrayed in the title of the article. What he said here has some merit and makes sense. I don't agree with his tactics over there in Iran, but again, the media portrays things so differently than how they really are, who knows who is telling the truth on any of these issues.

Daniel,
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. I have often said it is a good thing that none of us have the power of God or one's higher power, or we would all be doomed for hell (because many times we don't get the story straight about someone else, judge too quickly, and can be not as quick to forgive). Good post! I really enjoyed this.
Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI haven't often wondered as of late if there really is a difference in professional journalism and such journalism as displayed in papers such as " The Enquirer'. It appears that the news is portrayed in the manner to obtain the biggest bang for your buck.Where does one go to get the true and unbiased facts about current events?
