Do you agree with how the media has reported the Woolwich attack?

Have they been informative?

Have they been manipulative?

Have they helped spread fear/hate?

Have they encouraged unity?

What do you think of how papers have reacted and reported the murder in Woolwich?

Update:

@Emily, what are you on about? If you don't want to read people's question then don't click onto Yahoo questions and read them.

Also, where on earth did I say anything about misinterpretation?

If you are going to swear at me and insult me, at least have the decency to stop being a mouth-frothing anger management idiot and actually read and think before you write down your abuse and holier-than-thou ranting.

    The newspapers have a duty to report the news. So yes they have been informative. The other terms you use tend to be in the mind of the reader. Everyone interprets the written word differently due to culture, education, prejudices etc etc. So having reported what was available I think they all did a fine job.

    all of us needless to say knows the media is bias and PROMOTERS AND SUPPORTERS of Obama. Obama and Biden have all kinds of adverse documents to get out to the frequently used public. They have not even vetted them. They have not stated something approximately his acquaintances dedicating books to the guy who killed Robert Kennedy. all of us understand no longer something approximately this frightening guy because of the fact the media does not want us to. they want him to win. all of us could see how cheating he's and who he helps if l. a. cases could launch his tape. Fox is the only community that asserts something adverse in any respect and he whines and cries approximately that. are you able to think of how he could crack if he have been decrease than the stress Palin and McCain are with the media. How is this guy going to handle stress? no person knows. He gets a bypass. thank you media. you're a comic tale. you will be there for the frequently used public, no longer to your guy or woman selfish interest.

    I wonder really. Sometimes.

    You know, there's a difference between being intellectually curious and being a ****.

    Here's two fairly solid facts for you. A man, who was casually minding his own business, got ran over, attacked like he was a piece of meat (captured on camera), beheaded, and then dragged into the road. His killer, his hands bloody, then went to the camera and happily explained that he'd done it to get back at us westerners and he'd done it for his religion.

    How do you misinterpret that seriously? How do you question it? How can you not be fearful? IMAGINE if that man was one of your parents.

    Look all around you, muslims are preaching their hate of western living, western ways and western people. Muslims want THEIR rules and THEIR way and guess what? They're not getting it. So now? They're beheading people.

    I am in the US and watched coverage on TV. I think our coverage is pretty limited. In the past it seems there has been in the UK, a large anti Muslim sentiment. It is hard to be objective when you don't understand or fear a religion. I do think that the Muslim community needs to report and stop

    this terrorism. They need to work with police in all countries to diminish these crimes.

    I believe the media have reported the terrorist attack with attention to detail, and accuracy. The reporting of the media have been professionally undertaken.

    Much more than their reporting on :

    "British soldier jailed for stabbing 10-year-old Afghan boy"

    A British soldier has been jailed for stabbing a 10-year-old boy after getting drunk on vodka while serving in Afghanistan.
