media exaggerates

now the subject is not at all new. we all know it... even the media guys. they exaggerate, obviously just to create sensation irrespective of the truth percentage in their deliveries.
very recently this happened. my brother and other about 90 of his fellow armymen created a rampage and damage at a medical college hostel few kms from Indore city. reason: one of their collegues was beaten and held up whole night in a hostel room by medical students.
in the words of my brother, they went on bikes, 2-3 were carrying sticks, hostel was evacuated and not a single student was hurt. they broke glass windows, furniture. of course media was there.
words of media: "रक्षक बने भक्षक (saviours became eaters)", "they threatened medical students of their life", "they were carrying guns and fired in air!!", "they hurt police"
my brother: guns... hehe, outside academy... hehe... in civil area... haahaahaa!!! sure we would be punished but the fake media reports have made the matter worse and action against us could be serious. why media does this? why should we trust it?
and same is what i feel and ask myself again and again: why and when should we trust media? why is there no control on them? why can't they just put and show real plain facts? why they still shamelessly ask a man sitting outside his devastated house how he feels now? where can one find real sense and reality in news?
i trust them even less now
