The Media

A friend of mine told me a story to try and explain the manipulative but truthful character of the media. I thought it was worth sharing. It went something like this:

"There once was a small town. In the small town, there was a Baker who did the baking and the Newspaper Boy who delivered the paper. One day, the Newspaper Boy approached the baker and challenged him to a bicycle race! The baker did not hesitate and proudly took on the challenge. The next day, the newspaper heading read "An Unexpected Finish for the Town Baker Who Came in Second to Last".
