We believe by sharing stories of people like you and me, giving these authors opportunities to share their stories through talk show programs or newspaper articles, they can stretch forth their hands and touch people's passions and hearts. Through the touch of others, hopes can be raised, faith can be restored, depression can be lifted, sorrows can be wiped away, forgiveness can be embraced, minds can be educated, souls can be entertained and those in despair may find healing grounds because the stories are told by everyday people like you. Rarely has anybody failed in trying to help others. Such ideas with good intentions are always immortalized inside the minds of those who will carry on the batons. And a life without a good purpose has no meaning.
Many people unskeptically accept news presentation as facts.
However, most of the time sensationalism, embellishment, exaggeration, and misleading information have been incorporated into the process of news reporting. The intention is to grab our attention, rock our emotions, and sometimes fire people up to react in a way that may not be civilized. The Oklahoma bomb which killed many innocent people is a reminder of what people can do when goaded up by anti-government rhetoric based on their own misguided ideologies. In this book he relates story upon story regarding the movement away from reporting to sensationalizing, and in some situations misrepresenting the news. The book goes on to report stories about media's distortion of the truth from O.J. Simpson's trial, to Gulf War sensationalism, to the Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding story which was hyped to the stature of the JFK Assassination plot, to the Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill sexual harassment hearing, and many more interesting stories.
