The media manipulates the most interesting unproven facts they could find or concoct. In situations like wars going on between two countries, the media is almost trying to aggravate the war situation as much as they could. A particular scene may be jotted down with details by a journalist but the story being published are edited to such an extent it is totally warped. This might be what the editors might personally feel would happen in the future.
Biased views are published and readers after reading it will develop conflicting thoughts about a particular incident. But this often is done with the mindset to increase their readership in their country. The media also uses some affairs which are related to the population(something threatening their survival) to provoke them.
