The result is usually a skewed perception of what's really going on. I'm increasingly a firm believer that American media is less an informative resource that journalism used to be, and more a political resource which abandons the principles journalism used to stand for in favor of affecting its viewers/readers in such a way as to bolster that political base. Because of this, I think there's a very large tendency for things to be reported a certain way, and that might get interpreted not only in our own country, but abroad, to signify a particular state of being. And ultimately, a lot of conclusions are made based solely on spin, unless people are willing to personally carry out fact-checking, which I think most of us in the US can agree is probably not the case. Honestly, it's the next best thing to mind control. It works too. |

Apparently so, I mean a surprising amount, considering I have heard nothing about this from the media.

I didn't see laughter. I saw a slight smile. But why do people smile and laugh to begin with? There are times they do it to relieve stress. What is one of the biggest fears a person has? Public speaking. That slight smile was a reaction to something someone said to him before his speech. It had nothing to do with anything else. There is a mood change, he was in a different mood he was with other people and maybe his mind was off the tragedy for a brief moment, but you can tell in his speech he was heartbroken. He starts out by saying "OK" then he looked down like he was lost; he looked like he didn't want to give a speech about the tragic events that happen just a day before. After he said "ok" he starts to hyperventilate. You can see him breathe in & out heavily, even his voice starts to pitch higher with some words, he got choked up on others and there are moments it looked like he wanted to cry.
