It Counts for Something

When I finally came up with a thesis for my semiotic analysis, I decided to change it. I think it's too vague and would require quite a few examples, which would each require research, which would make this essay quite long, and frankly, probably boring. I did however spend quite a bit of time developing my thoughts, so I just thought I'd put them out there. My drive for this paper came from my broken heart, when coming to the conclusion that all the media are based on lies.
My thesis was:
The media is a self-serving industry that has unrightfully led us into a constant struggle of dissatisfaction acting as both the cure and the cause for the downfalls of today’s societies.
or:
One could fight that everything we see is fake, however, I believe proving this point would turn into a philosophy paper. I’m going to prove that the media has lied, put spins, used images, sound and language to sway our beliefs, leading us to do things that are not in our best interest.

So there it is. The base of a paper that I may write at some point in my life, but not now.
