Double-edged media



 As we saw in the previous documentary about an American football player who has volunteered himself to participate in the U.S. military, and how he built his heroism through the critical decisions and sacrifices he made for the success of the misison. However, his colleagues and leaders have managed to manipulate the truth of his death, mainly through media. Here is a picture of how media can manipulate our viewpoint of things. This image represents the double-edged media. Where two soldiers here are trying to show that they are helping the hostage/refugee by giving him water as he was suffering "from thirst", however, they got a rifle pointed at his head. This illustrates that they are just trying to keep him alive for the sake of keeping him as hostage, or draining whatever information he got.
