just thinking...

i just saw a tweet saying 'but if they was muslim or black, this would of been across every single news channel & newspaper smh'. i think that's kind of true. i don't know why the media demonises some groups of people. is it to disempower them because their influence/power has been recognised? is it to distract the masses while our leaders try to 'secretly' destroy the very same people being portrayed negatively everywhere?







it's frustrating and scary that we don't really have control over what we're fed, and i don't know whether to always believe what i see on the news so i try to be 'objective' lol. i know things aren't as censored here as in other countries - like in north korea recently some guy was edited out of all official videos and stuff - but nothing seems to be done very openly. i don't know if i'm overthinking but you can never know everything and i don't know why sometimes news is presented like you can. maybe i'm just being critical because i don't like seeing the same kind of stuff on the news sometimes then switching from channel to channel only to find the same stories being covered.
i also don't like feeling like i'm not making sense when i have something important to say. -.-
anyway here's a quote i read and liked: "start sensitising we the public on the kind of issues that will increase our alertness as civil society and you will see a big difference." - here
