The Media, Alcohol, and Illegal Drugs

The Media, Alcohol, and Illegal Drugs
SHARE

The media plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion, especially during times of war. Propaganda is often used to garner support for government policies, and the “War on Drugs” is no exception.

In a tragic incident, Cranberries singer O’Riordan died from drowning in her bathtub after consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Her death was labeled as a tragic accident. On the other hand, TV star Matthew Perry also drowned in his bathtub after consuming the drug Ketamine. His death, however, was sensationalized and linked to illegal drug use.

Reason magazine highlighted the discrepancies in how these two deaths were portrayed. Perry’s death was attributed to Ketamine, but experts pointed out that the primary cause was drowning while intoxicated. The article also raised questions about the legality of Ketamine and suggested that Perry may have survived if the drug was legally available with a prescription.

The media’s coverage of drug-related deaths often skews towards illegal drugs, painting them in a negative light. However, it fails to address the dangers of legal substances like alcohol. The focus on illegal drugs creates a stigma that hinders honest discussions about drug policies.

It is crucial for the media to provide unbiased information on drug use to help voters make informed decisions. Objective reporting on the effects of both legal and illegal drugs is essential in shaping drug policies that prioritize public health and safety. Let’s move away from sensationalism and focus on presenting the facts accurately.
