Media corruption

There is a truth behind everything, society is affected and exposed the media without realizing it. When the truth is hidden away from the mainstream audiences regarding vital issues, such as an election, it becomes a controversial scandal. It proves how unjust and wrong those in control can be, whether it’s mainstream media, or the government. Newspapers, magazines, (including the National Enquirer and celebrity magazines) movies, TV, internet, radio, advertisements abuses its power. The movie 15 Minutes highlights how the, information the media providing viewer with the negative influences is often misleading or untrue.
