Hello,

A great example of the modern media can be found at:

The method:

1 - Find some trend you find personally disturbing.  Since small furry animals
are cute, eating them is disturbing to today's media.

2 - Look like you are presenting both sides, but be sure to include
inconsequential statements by the side you find disturbing (by the way, this is
the most important method used by the media in political coverage).

3 - Allow the points of the disturbing side to be countered by lengthier
statements by the authorities backing your side.    BUT, never present ANY
statements by the disturbing side, that counter obvious fallacies by your side.
(This is always found in media articles about low-carb or high-protein diets,
where I have yet to find one factually correct statement by the opposition, and
yet I have never found any examination of these statements by the media.)

4 - Lastly, be sure to cause the disturbing side to look ridiculous or
non-sensical in some way, no matter how much you have to twist things to do so.
