The blame game...

This blog is going to be about the continuous "blame game" that seems to be happening more frequently with people trying to blame the media for all the problems in the world.

Ever notice the obvious pattern of when something happens with today's youth, that video games, violence in the media, and music are contributing factors to why it happened?

The media, is the constant target of society's problems at large. Why? It is easier to play this blame game or to pass the buck than it is for people as a society to hold themselves responsible for their own actions.

While it is perfectly true, that many areas of the media involved do not always present a positive message for their consumers, it is ultimately the consumer that is to blame for their own actions. To quote what many of us heard as we were growing up-- "they're not twisting your arm, making you do it."

In closing...
I want to make it perfectly clear that I do not condone all of the actions that have been fairly obvious manipulations of the power of the media. This blog is about the consistent blame game that happens to the media; and how they may or may not be as influential to events happening as one might imagine. This is about the commentary from the other side... the side "Against the Stereotype."
