I agree with you there. The media only really displays drama, violence and anything that is cute - anything that will sell. And often it will change people view and opinions. Often they are biased, they mis use what people say and basically cut and change things to what they want so that they can sell it to the public, they don't care about telling the truth only if it sells.
