Does media depict realistic images of Arabs?

In this reading the question that is answered is, "Does media depict realistic images of Arabs?"  Gal Beckerman supports the yes side on this topic.  He believes that today in media for the United States, we portray Arabs but what they actually blog from the Middle east.  He talks about how now days in this day and age the middle east has upgraded and has more access to the social networks.  By them having this, people all over the world can go and find there blogs or whatever they are on and read what they have to say n certain issues effecting them.  This lets them have a voice now in there country and they feel that they are finally being heard.  However Jack Shaheen, is supporting the no side in this argument and he has other issues with this question.  He thinks that in today's society after 9/11 and the terrorists attacks the United States has created a stereotype image about the Arabs, saying that they are all terrorists.  Now after all the movies, shows, advertisements, etc on the Muslims being terrorists, people in the Unites States have come to not trust them.  He believes the media portrayed a bad image for all of the middle eastern people and has brain washed the public to think that they are all Muslims and bad people.  When in reality this is not true they are not all Muslims they are  citizens in the Unites States just like everyone else.  

I think in my opinion that i would side with the no argument, because it is very true that the media created this image after the terrorists events.  It is what gave us a reason to go to war with them.  I think that it will be hard for the citizens of the Unites States to ever think of the Arabs as good people again because they have been so convinced other wise by the media.   There is a lot more evidence defending the no side and not a lot for the yes side.  However with that being said i agree with what Gal Beckerman said about the Arabs feeling that they finally have a voice and can look up anything they need to on the internet.  In today's world the internet is taking over and more and more people are being heard from things they have expressed about their feelings on the internet.
