Five Reasons why not

1. Can create or show a bias.

2. Will create a poor history of the news reporter.

3. May portray false ideas.

4. Can be proven to be false as it is compared to other news stories.

5. May cause hysteria due to over dramatized.

Manipulation through media and journalism is easily done through creating hysteria such as using photos that show only the worse, using slanters and or bias along with eye catching titles that over dramatize. Many people believe the media without fact checking with another source or will not fully read the article and jump to conclusions after seeing the title and or picture.
