Based on the severity of the accused crime, was it fair for the media to form a premature opinion about Strauss-Kahn's innocence? Write in ABC/PEEL format.
I feel that it was not fair for the media to make such a trial on Strauss even before the court judged him. Mainly because there might be some hidden agenda and reason to his doings, and his motives are not as perceived pernicious. Secondly , the media judged his whole personality, ignoring his contributions, based on one act, which has yet to be even trialled in court. Thirdly their judgement is biased and unclear, without any clarification.
I think that Strauss Khan might have a reason for his actions, and it is not fair for the media to judge him. For example, if someone from a big authority was threatening you to rape the woman, and puts your life at risk, would you do it? If the Mafia comes after you, and asks you to target this particular girl, you would be compelled to, though it goes against our morals. Realistically speaking, one should follow his kanthian perspective of thinking, if Strauss was forced to, complied to raping this woman, then I doubt it is fair for the media to trial him. My stand is that definitely something has happened before, that forced Strauss into raping the girl . Thus it is unfair for the media to judge.
I think that Strauss shouldnt be judged by one act alone, ignoring all contributions. For example, if Mr Lee Kuan Yew is caught for stealing, the media would create a huge outcry for it, and all his efforts would go down the drain. And from then on, he would be viewed as a thief-only. It is only fair, when the court judges Mr Lee accordingly for what he has contributed, and the severity of the crime, for the media to make their decision. I think Strauss would only be judged properly after the court rules a decision, and not before, as the media tends to overlook all of one's benefits and criticise. It is not fair to judge on based on one act. The media has yet to confirm the total procedure and wants to judge Strauss, it is unfair.
The media's judgement is bias. The media is but yet a bleak source of information, and does not hold true information. More often than not, they exaggerate their points, and make it seem interesting. Such is unfair. For example, in the recent bullying case of a volleyball coach "pulling" the students hair, "tossing" him to the ground, " bashing" him up. I doubt the media was there. I doubt that such a specific description could be come up by 8 year olds. The media tends to exaggerate, and its not fair at all. I think the court should judge Strauss and not let the media exaggerate the whole thing into a big matter.
I find the media very selfish and unfair is they trial someone. It is not their duty to trial , but it is the court's duty. What the media should do, is wait till the sentence is out, then judge them accordingly.
