Superficiality, Fakeness, Misconception...?

Superficiality is a common thing in the media-world. It the way people are presented which actually is not a real representation of them or a modified version. Taking magazine covers as an example everyone looks good and it is only the outer part of the people being projected; especially with celebrities. They are presented in such a way that everyone would laud and praise them. 

A picture of the famous Kim Kardashian's picture and how she is presented in front of the audience:




Well that is what is called an awesome picture. She looks perfect and so beautiful.











Do you want a glimpse of what her real feature is? How she look in reality? So, here is another picture of her.

This is the 'real' her. 

Would you say that it is the same person? Never. She seems so different in reality. This caught my eye the moment I came across this picture.

All this only to show how fake media can be at times. People are presented in a modified way. The pictures are edited. This is distortion of reality. It not only applies for pictures but also for published things. News also are hideous as not everything is exposed. There are things which are seen as tabous for the society, thus, they again provide a distorted news.
