Politics and Morality are both relative terms.\nUnfortunately for us, they both happen to be totally unrelated to each other !

A better question may be whether media can mis-shape an event or mis-shape foreign policy.  According to a panel of editors on TV some time ago, Newspapers used to be far more open about their political leaning, taking names like The Morning Republican or The Evening Democrat, and you knew where they stood.  Now conglomerate news is far more subtle and profess not to be biased.  However it is probably easier to get into journalism schools and survive if you are liberal rather than conservative, and it is probably difficult for journalists to resist their personal biases.  Many believe that our country is strong because we have freedon of the press, and I agree.  But I believe we are even stronger by accident in that we now have a strong two-party system (with smaller parties free to come and go).  Countries that have to form coalitions of many small parties that mutually hate each other are not very strong.  As soon as the press succeeds in installing their favorite party as an overwhelmingly dominate party you can almost guarantee that the minor party and the press will be surpressed to ensure survival of the winner.  Both parties have liberal and conservative wings and often these wings supply the most interesting ideas, because that is where the passion is.  The moderates of both parties usually control the outcome by asking the important questions such as who is going to pay for this great idea?  We will probably get along OK as long as enough citizens look past the headlines and read between the other lines to seek the unvarnished truth.  Distortions occur in events and foreign policy when people accept biased reports and fail to observe what is on the other side of the coin.

A conflict is something that creates tension and problems. There can be an internal conflict (ex: whether you should go outside or stay inside), a conflict with nature (ex: you driving through a horrible snowstorm), or a conflict with people (ex: you disliking someone for some reason).

Politics affect every aspect of your life from healthcare to the prices you pay for goods and services to crime levels. It affects life and death when countries go to war and medication available by the policies it makes.\nIt affects the law and punishments it even affects the media.\nLaws are created by politicians such as the legal age to drink alcohol.\nPolitics affects how schools are run and the amount of and work charities can do, or the countries we get the oranges from we buy in the shops.\n\nPolitics affects everything I could go on and on but I think I'd best stop here

Regardless of your politics people, the answer is YES.  The media needs stories to fill 24 hours worth of 'news.' The media frequently "reports" what the governments reports, says, and spins.  People at all levels of government (federal, state, local, school) spend time every day trying to spin a media message in a particular way, in the same way that PR companies and corporate companies cast their messages.  How, when, what, and why a story is reported is generally structured by others in government (and business) with the public blissfully unaware.  Fox simply characterizes with a conservative bent.

well when media protrays the other country as a mortal enemy - like in the movie Border - it can't make the two countries closer...so media can sway Indo Pak relations...remember when the two countries were about to go to war, the media was so forceful about the devastating issue - that things got sorted out pretty fast.\n\nSo yes Media has a big role

when two opposing sides meet, usually the emotional argument trumps the rational one (i.e. all of politics)
