AE#2 Slanted opinion.

While standing in line at the grocery story I glance through one of many “smut” magazines. The titles are so catching it makes you want to open up to the big story itself. I cannot help but get caught up and want to know more about the major story of the magazine. As I am reading the story I catch myself making opinions of the person in the story is about, leaning towards the same opinion as the author of the magazine article. I wonder how these people can get away with doing the mean things they do to the ones they claim to love. Have they no morals or respect for others not to commit these hateful acts against each other!

US Weekly, an example of a “smut” magazine, always has major titles that are very tempting and draw the reader in making them want to buy the magazine. There it is the tactic! The idea is, that if they present catchy titles a person will buy the magazine and it worked.  Then while continue to read the magazine you begin to realize that all the stories are only of opinions not facts. The article is so enticing it gives the feeling that everything is true and factual, I mean why would they make it all up!  Not only does it seem factual they have pictures to represent their claims, it has to be true or they would not print the articles.

This is their goal. To present people with information in a manner that you cannot resist. They write the articles so that they seems like we all can relate to the lives of stars. Really, they just want to make money.
