How Social Media can mislead viewers into supporting destruction of nations.

[thekingsmen]

In recent years social media platforms have been the building grounds for information to be sent from all around the world to reach others that may not be educated in a certain aspects of subjects to be informed in those through video, pictures, dialogue, etc. Though that may be doing well, misinformation has plagued social media sites with lies, distortion and flat out false-hoods. That misinformation creates more of a feedback in responses than the actual truth spread to the masses. From shorten-edited videos of Gaddafi to KONY 2012, to articles of Gay Syrian Girl or pics of Katrina of blacks stealing goods from store all carry a mind-altering effect on the viewer to make them believe this is all true. Sadly social media heads aren't quick to call those who post it "Bullshyt" when it's known. Not one has been called out for the lies.

Take the Venezuela situation right now. Look at the social media's distortion of this country...

In other cases, images of Venezuela’s past demonstrations are being recycled.

“Many of these false images are spread, presumably, by unsuspecting parties,” Combs says. “But there are also examples of people intentionally posting photos for political gain, or simply for attention.” Cameron Combs works at the Inter-American Dialogue in Washington, and has been published in TheAtlantic.com, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, World Politics Review & Huffington Post.

Unfortunately the majority of folk are suckers when it comes to this and tend to wanna be the first to be outraged rather than check out the veracity of images. You see this shyt all the time on Twitter and Facebook. They do the same with warning stories that circulate like chain letters.

The recent photo of a four year old child walking across the desert "on his own while fleeing Syria" according to the photograph when in reality his was just trailing behind the rest of his family and other people is another example.

It's the same with these Earthporn pics and Astro pic accounts. Half of them just show made up captions with impressive photographs and people take it in.

Be weary of the media kids, social or otherwise.

are people surprised at marketing techniques aka propaganda? the same dumb asses from 60 years ago in ww2, are the same jack asses who were pumped up for korea, vietnam, and every subsequent invasion afterwards. if you are easily riled up, dont blame others for getting you all hot and bothered. accept the fact that you dont care for rational, youre only here for the mob mentality. friday russia said the sanctions placed on ukrainian members were blackmail. I looked at the radio in confusion and asked: what else are sanctions, thanks for pointing out the obvious. even in the kiev thread I pointed out the same building that sent her ass to prison is to the same placs that secured her release. which once again confirmed my fukk laws and the men who write them philosophy
