Comment of the 2 articles!

    Wag the dog shot on 1997, and It was a political comedy movie. I read those 2 article about this movie. It talks about “Media manipulation is a set of tactics used by certain individuals and groups--especially those who have enough political power or money to control the news media” ——from the article. This movie was interesting, because it showed audiences corrupt thing of the government.  In this movie, Brean was a wily person, and he knew how to manipulate the political, press and public opinion. He made the news about the war, so people could focus on the other big news but not the President harassment girl scandal.

    In my opinion, this movie used a good way to show people what was the another side of political, corruption and darkness. I believed many of countries' government have had that problems. It was a usual phenomena. Filmmaker used a funny way to show audiences. I also saw this in the article "As an example, someone may invoke patriotic distraction by saying, "You think that we should adopt a healthcare policy like they have in China. Do you really think the Chinese know better than us about healthcare?" I did not understand this part. What kind of healthcare in China? (=___=)))?!

    Sum up, those two articles talked the politicians to control the media power and used this power in the political.
