How do you think the media affects your perception of the social problems faced by America?

The media exasperates the problem most of the time.

In my unprofessional opinion they bring up problems that often drag us from the real overidding issue or make problems from something that isnt all that bad, i feel they do this for ratings and a reason of course but the media as a whole doesnt often help situations.

I watched the news just the other day where a family was complaining about the free lunch given because the child didnt pay and was in debt, the school had a previous policy in place, and this is not uncommon. But the news gets on and makes the school system look bad.
