Knoepfler, State of Play


After watching sate of play, I started to notice a very apparent relationship between the media and the political world. This controversial relationship uncovers sex scandals, such as Bill Clinton, and money scandals, such as good ole’ William Jefferson and his money in the freezer. The media is often categorized as a left wing supporter, or a right wing supporter. They will also often have subliminal messages in their newscasts. In the film, they were hesitant to publish the story due to fear of it not making enough money. This only confirms my suspicion that both the media and politics are working together only for the gain of profit. When the purpose of media is only for the gain of profit, the stories start to become more and more skewed and aimed toward the purpose of entertaining the masses, rather than spread the truth. This issue is addressed in State of Play, which is a form of media. State of Play is a form of media warning people about the bad forms of media and not to listen to them.
