This guy has very valid points. Since I tend to agree with people rather that companies, I tend to agree with this guy.

I have to say that his point is very valid. I have to confess i jumped on the kony 'thing' as soon as i saw it, however several days later i did some reaserch and the invisible children thing seemed a bit shaddy...
This confirmed my suspicions ^^

I agree on somethings he said about the editing and melodramatic music. Even with the guy showing his kid to get leverage. But Kony is not a phoney. He's been around for years and lots of articles have made reports of it. 2006 Articles -> http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2006/01/hitchens200601?new and many more. But none of them have made a goal to stop this guy. These people "invisible children" are going out with banners and shot to stop this. So the methods they used to attract attention to KONY were very shady and manipulative. Persuasive some people may say. But Kony is out there.

I was never denying that Kony was out there. But it just seemed strange that all of a sudden, there is a massive push to get this guy locked up. No news on it, no big reports on it (by public response) and all of a sudden there is a viral almost "marketing" campaign to get Kony.

I think every one has jumped on Kony, even most of my friends. And now a lot of my news feed on Facebook is just saying how fake Invisible Children is ( I supported them in like 08' because they helped in the one Fall Out Boy video)

The media cares only what the public cares. Since the public cares about getting Kony locked up. So does the media.

Watch Machine Gun Preacher.
I'm pretty sure that some guy watched it and thought it was a good idea to start a protest about it.

Actually Yes, If you watched the video. He states that this is the only act the government has done since the public has demanded it(with at least some sort of media support)

If you think about it (or maybe if you're a genius, you don't really need to think at all) the media is the voice of the people to the government, but then at the same time the media is controlling what the people want (to a degree). Would it be like a circle..?
