MEDIA PROPOGANDA





                                    head-shots-2                                      DID ANYONE NOTICE that Jamaica cleaned up 8 gold medals in the track and field events in this year’s Olympic? NOOOooooooooo well that’s not surprising considering who was airing the Olympics. Most of what was aired during NBC’s coverage of the 2008ThOlympics was dominated by american winners. Is that what the media is about these days? Don’t get it twisted I am an American.  I am also an American that was cheated out of the full experience of the Olympics. There was total disregard of other winners in the Olympics, but it did not go unnoticed. The American audience didn’t really get to see the winners in all thier Glory.  Jamaica was only in the  track and field events and the cleaned up all the gold’s. I wonder if  that small country ever entered the other events how much cleaning up would  they be doing then? (A bet WWHOOLE LOT)  


It’s really sad I couldn’t even find a video on YouTube to show how they cleaned up the feild, it was all pictures. The media coverage on Jamaica winning the gold medals in track and field was poor in America.  The country is small and it’s hardly ever in the news. But with such wins I think they deserved more glory than it was given media wise.  Is it too much to expect from the American media to be fair to the other stars of the Olympics who are not Americans?
