The media arms race shows how strong global communication and mass media are.
With the ability to select bit and pieces only from any kind of information, Media can play with the facts and produce a interpretation which could literraly change the whole meaning of a contest, the best example being the speech of De Villepin which was cut and edited so that the speech would appear like a fluke in front of the UN while it was a severe blow to the US diplomacy. The overall idea which should be retained from this article is that we can clearly say that whoever controls the global mass media nowadays may not entirely rule the world, but definitely rules the general population's opinion and that is something which should really makes us question wheter we're reeally analyzing what is given to us, or are we just processing it blindly and giving these media more credit than what they deserve.
