Tamil Tigers of Srilanka killed 28 people using a suicide bomber on February 9th. The bomber detonated herself when she was in a group of Tamil civilians fleeing from war zone.I wonder can it be true? Tamil Tigers who are fighting for a separate Tamil state in Srilanka and are dependent upon the support given by Tamil civilians can target and kill their own people for fleeing away from their land smells propagandist to me. The war video that we were shown in our first class talked about embedding journalists and trying to dictate the journalists on what they write.It also talked about how Americans used media to get international support for their war against terrorism portraying themselves as the rightful heir of Human right defenders.
No wonder International media covered the Tamil Tiger's case as a terrorist attack on civilians. click here,
There is constant spinning of messages from the Srilankan government and the international media embedded with Srilankan government are consuming the message that they are being fed. The result, we have to believe that the sun rises in the west, as media creates social reality in contemporary world.
