Journalism is a lot tougher than I thought it would be!

Sometimes the images they show are also misleading, causing the reader to feel a certain way about an issue. I've noticed the ways editors use imagery and words to manipulate the minds of their readers. It bothered me a lot at first, but now I just find it comical.

The theme of corporate abuse and
