Media Manipulation! (Russell Brand Inspired)

Ok, i am not sure if everyone know who is Russell Brand, well to keep it brief he is an "English comedian, actor, radio host, author and activist". So i recently seen him on The View and he spoke about a show he has on his YouTube channel where he speaks on the truth about the news and he calls this "The Trews". I figured since I am doing a blog about something very similar let me check out his channel and see where his mind set is and he pointed out something I would love to share! So basically in the newspapers and I am sure this is any newspaper they, would descriptively talk about any situation and the way they speak on things is to grasp your attention now mind you, the news paper is to inform you on any situation if I am not mistaken, although you are informative of whats going on and there is one obvious outlook on whatever it is, for some reason you digest the information differently and that is because they word it in a way that keeps you entertainingly interested in what ever story you are reading, regardless the story, for example: headline reads " Breaking News!! female teacher sleeps with student" automatically this grabs your attention, now everyone is different but majority of peoples reactions are "shocked". everyone knows this is wrong  and everyone knows its illegal, do you really need to know the details about a female teacher sleeping with her student, NO! but everyone is curious and have you ever thought why you are so curious or why you are so interested in the details? i never thought why either. im guessing it has something to do with the fact that they put details as such in their articles: "...female teacher is caught sleeping in the students bed with just her bra and jeans unbuckled..." that automatically puts an imagery in your head now instead of you thinking about an older teacher sleeping with a young boy, majority of people have the imagery of a young boy who got the chance to sleep with an hot older teacher and in this case the news is promoting sexual fantasies instead of convincing us readers the point of the whole article. If you read my first blog now you understand exactly what i mean by the media is in on the government shenanigans, be open minded, open your eyes to the manipulation all around us like the great Albert Einstein said "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
