Media also can portraiy something as bad and corrupt the minds of those who listen, via magazines, bilboards etc.. For example plastic surgery is rife nowerdays andwhy??  Airbrushing!!?!  Everyone wants to look a certain way, to copy celebritys etc, when celebs are no different from ourselves, they are just portraiyd as better looking and better skin etc on magazine covers and bilboards due to airbrushing, tanning etc! Its all fake its not real!!!
Also..media can have a negative effect via propaganda, twisting the truth, to make others look bad in a certain way..e.g islam. Etc.. If a muslim man was to kill his wife it would say" muslim man kills wife , but if a christian man killed his wife.. It wouldnt say christian man it would say " man killed wife etc!
Media can be used in good or bad ways but majortity of the media and news is corrupt that we see on t.v especially from bbc, but ne way each 2 ther own!
