How does the media and its subjective perception affect the way this incident is handled?

In society nowadays, the media has a lot of influence among the public. It is not only able to feed us with the information about major events happening all around the world, but also manipulate the viewers at the same time. So, should we believe everything the media reports? The information that we get may not be as accurate as you think it would be. The media has the ability to show us some parts of events and therefore, we are unable to get the entire picture.

In the case of this incident, the media has chosen to depict our swimmers in bad light. They showed our swimmers smiling at the disqualification of the American team. This would give the viewers the impression that our swimmers are mocking them for their mistake. However, in reality, our swimmers were only smiling in shock and had no intention whatsoever in celebrating their disqualification in the competition. This incident shows that the media is very subjective in its perception and has no desire to get to the bottom of things. This resulted in this controversy in the first place.

In conclusion, the media and its subjective perception can cause a lot of problems as the viewers may be upset to see what they show. This incident is one good example.
