I can see that the media is a big topic this week… As I have said in many of my posts, it is amazing how one picture can mean many things, but people only see one of those meanings, they can only see the worst. As it happened to the man from “Missing”, he was just minding his own business, smoking a cigarette, when someone took his picture. And now he is seen as MIA and suffering. No body can stop and think that maybe he lives there because he wants to, maybe he has now his own family who he loves, maybe he wanted to escape from his previous life and he is happy now. But instead the picture shows the worst of him.
That is what the media does, like for celebrities who have their pictures taken in a bad day or in a bad pose, and the media can make a giant gossip (false) story about them. Some poor celebrity could be hugging an old friend in the middle of the city and the media can portray it as this celebrity having an affair. Pictures can never be believed for what they appear to be, until the one in the picture can explain what was really going on.
