How media is used to cover politicians and government



PINOY POLITICIANS: WEALTHY LIARS, RICH TRAITORS & MEDIA DARLINGS!

This is a video concerning how government officials and politicians are taking control of everything in a country. It shows how these politicians originated, mostly rich people, and how they get elected. It also mentions how media has been used by those officials to empower, and support them through their actions.
It is the medias role to criticize the government. But since media is owned by oligarchs, who have deep connections with the reigning political dynasties, the real news is being suppressed by blurring the line between newsreporting and commentary. The oligarch-owned mass media criticizes their political enemies. But the question lies, who will criticize the mass media?

Deep Photography

The street is the photographer's friend, but also his enemy. So are the street's inhabitants with their varying lots and differing modes of life. They are unpredictable, random, and spontaneous. They are sensitive and surprising, decorous and dangerous. With all of them the photographer has to learn to communicate, to understand their language, and recognize their signals and hints.
This is not slang; it is a secret sign- language, a set of codes for behavior in society, the society of the street. Here are some amazing photography of how Felix Lupa used the streets to demonstrate various situations, and reality of life. This is by connecting different aspects such as, signs, icons, body language, facial-expressions, cultural bonds and so forth to demonstrate one photograph that blow the viewer's mind away.

A child tries to awaken his mother from a diseased sleep in a refugee camp in Zaire.



Child labor is not a new issue in Bangladesh as children here remain one of the most vulnerable groups living under threats of hunger, illiteracy, displacement, exploitation, trafficking, physical and mental abuse. Although the issue of child labor has always been discussed, there is hardly any remarkable progress even in terms of mitigation. Many of these children are engaged in various hazardous occupations in factories.




Though usually upbeat, this Iraqi boy was sensitive about his appearance. One afternoon, when he saw other children staring at him, the boy became angry and upset. Nurses sought to soothe him by taping a felt tip pen to this arm so he could draw pictures. Saleh drew an airplane dropping bombs, as that is what lead him to his current condition.
