The media can really overdramatize crime no matter what kind of crime is committed. Just like the other day someone had broke into someone house and the person got killed. The media told the story as if the person went inside the house and started shooting and took anything that they could get out the house and sell it. The media tries to make they look good so that they can get a lot of feedback. They know that they have to get stuff that is interesting so that people will watch.
The effect that media treatment of crime has a bad effect on public opinion. The reason that they have a bad effect is because the media twist people words around and make it seem that they have said this or that and they have not said anything like that. A lot of people do not like talking to the media because they feel that they will get things started because if a person does not say this and the media said that they did, a lot of people believes what the media says because they feel that they are always right with the facts and in all reality they do not.
