Sample Solution
l throughout the shooting, the media was assuring everyone that they were getting all the information from the students who were in the building. However, the students were actually being informed by the coverage they saw on TV. This caused everyone a great deal of confusion. No one knew what was real or not. âIn those first five hours, not a single person on the CNN feeds asked a student how they knew the killers were part of the Trench Coat Mafia (211).â The biggest problem they encountered was the failure to question what was actually going on. Everyone all over town were talking about the Trench Coat Mafias thinking that they were the ones who did it. Nevertheless, what they were hearing was false and they were repeating misleading information. The media said that the killers were targeting jocks. A junior named Bree Pasquale became a witness when she escaped the building. Bree described what was happening in the library in great detail. ââThey were shooting anyone of color, wearing a white hat, or playing a sportâ she said. âAnd they didnât care who it wasâ¦(Cullen 212).ââ So when Bree Pasquale stated what she witnessed happen, it contradicted what the media said earlier about the killers only targeting the jocks because now they know that the killers did not care who they were killing whoever they say they shot. The mediaâs goal to explain the main purpose for the shooters was powered with their false factual repetitions. In conclusion, even the media today gives out false information that can be very misleading. During the Columbine shooting, there was a great deal of confusion which could have been easily avoided. The author, David Cullen, explains the three major problems on how the media covered the story. Even when we donât realize it, the media produces and airs false information daily. The people of today need to dig in deeper to uncover the truth for themselves because others may not want to show all of it. No one should ever believe everything they see or hear because it may be false.>
