Anti War

    After perusing the websites of Antiwar.com and The American Conservative, I was honestly baffled, not by only the information that was shared on these sites, but that this information, nor these sites, is ever exposed to the world. The first website that I reviewed and dissected was "The American Conservative", and all I thought about was how all the articles and stories that were published, is information that would never be filtered into the everyday news. Articles like "More fog, more war", "The Collapse of Consent in Canada", and "Living in Truth, together", all provided compelling information that provided me different perspectives on how to perceive information, and digest it, when I was able to receive it.  A side that is never shown, unfortunately. This type of website and other websites just like this one will forever stay hidden from the world. The reasoning for why websites and the information that is contained in these websites will be covered is because they contained truth. The media and government are commingled in the sense of them being able to manipulate and create myths about information to make it more enticing for the viewership, and to make the news more dramatic. 

    It is a messed up process that the media and the government tend to do, in that the act of hiding certain information misleads the public of the information that they are receiving, by only framing the issue, and sugarcoating the truth of what is out there. With the sites that I have been exposed to in this course, although some information could be deemed invalid, there is a sense of realism, and truthfulness that is conveyed to the audience, not illustrating cookie-cutter information. They are hiding this type of information from these types of sources because they speak the truth, and sometimes on the media's side, the truth is not what they want to unveil. With mainstream news sites, a majority of that information is skewed and is not fully accurate. You can hop around from different major websites and gain different information on the same story. You need to expand your perspectives and horizons with websites, and check out websites that do not get much light shined on them to see the truth that you are not being exposed to. 

 

In our everyday lives, we are mainly subject to certain websites that go against antiwar voices and news points. The media and journalists have made this world not have an opinion on how they think about war and will continue to hide their viewpoints of antiwar. The U.S. has made absurd amounts of capital with their war efforts, and in the event, the public was exposed to the perspective son antiwar, people will begin to shift the direction of antiwar, which would lead to the U.S. not being wealthy with other war efforts. It is a financial demand that the U.S. is collecting for itself, and it will alter the information that is being conveyed in any shape or form and will continue to hide antiwar viewpoints and activities.
