Would it be such a big controversy if the media didn't perpetuate it?
If no news organizations covered these lunatics that want to burn Quaran this wouldn't even be a topic of conversation.
If these nutjobs didn't hear about the building of the Mosque then they wouldn't even think of hosting a burning the Quaran today. I think we need to look at the freedom of press rights more carefully. Censorship is definitely a bad thing but when top cable news networks cause controversy for ratings they need to be held accountable.
Same thing happen in the OJ trial. They created a race issue which caused people to take sides. I'm a black man and was disgusted to see black people jumping up and down when he was found not guilty. But the media created that divide.
Phuck American Media!
