<p>Newspapers have the right to report whatever they deem to be news. There’s nothing anyone can legally do from stopping them. Thats a good thing. Freedom of the press is important. The media today is incredibly powerful in that they do a great deal to project a certain perception to the general public. All too often, many people truly do believe whatever they read in the newspapers. However, when it becomes apparent that certain media outlets openly present a certain bias or agenda it infuriates many of those who know better. </p>

<p>I would disagree, my argument is that, in this specific case, the problem is selective reporting caused by the noticeable bias of one or two reporters. Yes, the stories being covered are possibly newsworthy. However, so are dozens of other events, many positive, that don’t get covered.</p>
<p>When so much that goes on daily at the Academy is positive, the news media’s choice to focus on the bad presents a distorted perception of the Academy to the general public. Because perception is almost important as reality, those who support the Academy have every right to be mad when there is an inaccurate perception being presented.</p>
