thesun.co.uk

Rob, beat and urinated on, that's three charges filed by The Sun to the supporters of Liverpool, in the days after the tragedy of Hillsborough.

This news, regardless of the fact-finding empathy and appropriate, then emerged and caused a sensation. And obviously, what The Sun itself then add insult to injury for the Liverpudlian, who clearly still in grief for having lost his family.

The effort to sell newspapers that made McKenzie, editor of The Sun at the time, to allow the loaded headline. Considering it was still red-hot, McKenzie then tried to present the actuality - of course being the main weapon for the media.

McKenzie goals and The Sun as a whole, which recklessly made this news was published, and then presented a very complicated polemic.

So then, there were people who want to attack Kopites as the murderer, as this issue alone. With three counts of cruel, they were then imaged that the Liverpudlian was a supporter that you should watch.

Kopites then have to prove that they are good, and the fans are the same as the others. Division One lucky then not yet transformed into the Premier League and became a globally recognized brand. Thus, Kopites attempts to stop this stigma seem easier.

This itself later described, at that time, there were media that utilized our innocence to the media that we were always considering neutral. Attempts to corner the one hand - which in the world of journalism known as trial by the press - in certainly diverse motif. And clearly, the media was not as sacred as that.

The media is not a sterile room, but there is a conflict of interest between the idealism of journalists and demands for profits (also considering the media companies that need money). Thus, questions like "are you newsman or businessman", is often asked by those who engaged in the world of journalism.

In the case of The Sun related to news about the Hillsborough tragedy, obviously, it was actually drawn. The Sun, then choose to apply the dirty business whose aim to sell newspapers at the time.

Conspiracy with the police, who at the time was trying to wash their hands regarding their failure that made the audience exploded to knock down the barrier pole, then become a boomerang for The Sun.

23 years after publication in 1989, The Sun release their apologies that this was not the facts.

However, Clearly this is not just a warning for the world of journalism and the current mainstream media. Information in this viral age obviously very fast, and not infrequently, demanding us to respond the news as soon as possible.

Nicklas Bendtner meme

For us, people who live in the era when information has become a necessity, of course, this is a warning for us to be able to be smart again enjoy the treats presented in the media. And in fact, not only the media, but also with our friends who often have us believe, or even accounts that we follow in social media.

Namely, quotations that often spread virally on the internet. This is the easiest thing to find.

The joke about Nicklas Bendtner himself, at the time, is a thing most easily found in the example of how the Internet is being able to manipulate us so credulous. Yes, of course, in this case just for fun only. However, that does not mean it can not lead to the misperception.

Mario Balotelli ever had this problem. The stunned player then got cynicism about his comments that dropped Real Madrid, and elevated Barcelona. While my friends were fans of Barca, happy with the opinions, said by Mario Balotelli.

Then, unable to bear against this, Balo then released a clarification that you can read in FourFourTwo because it was so serious. From meme, then considered news by the public so that the FFT needed to preach this clarification, and luckily Balo made the clarification quickly, so this issue soon subside.

In the end, as a connoisseur of media, we also must be able to act intelligently in the days of flooding information as it is today. Looking from a variety of sources is an easy form for us not to believe what the media says or accounts that we follow in social media.

By reading from a variety of sources, we are able to understand better, and our paradigm is also a wider range of an issue and no longer be individuals who are easily provoked because it is too naive and trust. It would be very useful for us in football so that the bad image that suffered Kopites because of The Sun does not happen in our football.

Also, it is extremely beneficial to know your club's coveted players whether will soon move closer to your club. How? See and count how many media has been spreading the news about the negotiations between your club and the players who were targeted. More and more, then it is a sign closer to reality.
