Week 5: Anti-War
The writers from these sites have strong anti-war opinions and these websites are never in the mainstream news because of their strong views. The reason that these websites are not in the mainstream media is due to the views that they have, and how they contrast that of the government’s, which is why the government might be trying to make it harder to find these websites. Another reason that they might be hard to find is because there are bigger industries that have a bigger following, such as CNN and Fox, which would make it harder for people to find websites that are smaller. This is especially true if the consumer is not seeing an advertisement or some publicity for the website because there are so many less well-known sites that it is hard to see them all. I think it is also hard to find websites with ani-war opinions because our country is basically built on war. We are almost always in a constant state of war and this is a big factor in how decisions in our country are made, and it would feel almost like we are going against a tradition if we were to not be at war. If people had anti-war websites in the mainstream media, then I think the government would be worried about having more opposition in what they would want to do when it comes to war. It would make it harder for the U.S. to go to war because more citizens would not be in favor of going to war, thus making it a harder decision to go to war because it would make a larger amount of people angry than it would if people had never seen the anti-war websites. It makes the government look bad when you must dig deep for information like this, but I guess it’s like the old adage, what you don’t know can’t hurt you. I also think that all people should dig deep to stay informed on all topics because that way you are not hearing one side or an extreme opinion.
