Media Meltdown: Ferguson vs Egypt
The western media's coverage of the events surrounding the Egyptian revolution were hyper-sensationalised, to put it mildly, but what if they were to cover the events at Ferguson in the same way… here's an idea of how it would look...
What is happening in Ferguson is absolutely dreadful, and very telling that angered American masses aren't all that different than the angry Egyptian masses. However, as each day passes, it become clearer that the way international media covers Ferguson is quite different. Aside from the clear differences, both groups are seeking justice. Often on just the basis of tweets and photos, many of these media abusers take these images, sensationalise a headline, and report it as if they were there and that images don't lie. All they end up managing to do is stoke further fears among already frightened masses. So here is our attempt to cover Ferguson using the same sentences/headlines international media used in describing the protests in Egypt.
