Media Spin

Are you kidding me? This is how this actually appears as a News Story:


PITT SHOCKED BY ANTI-AMERICAN ATTITUDE

BRAD PITT discovered how unpopular America is across the globe when a group of drunk Dutchmen threatened to kill him because of his nationality. Pitt ran into the partygoers while he was in Amsterdam shooting OCEAN'S TWELVE, and the incident shocked him. He says, "I get a bike wherever I go and I went for a midnight ride around Amsterdam. There were some guys coming out of a bar having a good time. I said, 'Excuse me,' and swerved out of the way and they started screaming, 'You f**king American. We'll f**king kill you.' "I'd never come face to face with that before - that turn in the way we are perceived in other countries."


So, some drunks call Pitt a "f**king American", so all the countries hate the US? Are you kidding me? Go ahead and try to tell me that this isn't the media trying to influence mind sets by banking on people either only reading the headline, or not being smart enough to cut through the crap.

I can get called a derogatory comment, and have my life threatened if I go to any of the local bars here, does that mean that all of America hates America too? No, it means drunks are stupid, and so is the media.
