The Trump administration bombing Syria is a largely controversial event tearing America in half.  This is largely due to the disconnect in information.  The media has the ability to skew the thoughts and opinions of Americans based on the information that they chose to show.  Depending on which news outlet was used, opinions could be favored for or against the attack.   Some people saw the attack as a move to show power and strength and threaten the Syrian government.  Others were able to recognize that the attack was to destroy a large supply of chemicals that were planning on being used for future attacks.  Syria had been warned numerous time by multiple different governments not to have chemical war fare.  After disregarding the messages, America took the move to attack this supply.

It has become extremely difficult to determine which media outlets are factual and which ones are presenting the whole story.  With today’s technology, many people receive their news through short videos stories posted on social media.  It is also amazing how different the same story can be told from news station to news station.  In my opinion, this inability to determine the full story is causing a greater divide in the nation.  There needs to be a better way for Americans to get the full news stories of what is happening in the world around them so that opinions can be formed on facts rather than from stories that are manipulated to make people think in the way that they want.
