Sensationalism

I think that it possibly can harm a news source's reputation, but in the end you can't really put your finger on just one who does it. I think everyone does it to get more viewership. The truth usually comes out and people are usually disappointed. I relate it to onlookers. They see flashing lights so they slow down to look, but when they finally get there they are really disappointed. Not sure what that means, but I used it. I think it is spicing up the news to make it sound more intriguing. I think this Pat Tilman issue is the latest at hand. The truth was hidden to make him sound like an American hero, but it might be an issue of friendly fire. I believe the blame from this situation is going to fall on the government.
