As a matter of fact, media not only has stereotypes, but it also has biases. For example, most of the magazines sold in Canada are American magazines. Chatelaine, Flare, Seventeen, People, Faze, and Time are just a few examples of the thousands of American magazines that flood Canada's market today. All these magazines are full of American biases. Take Time magazine for example. The cover of the September 16, 2002 issue has Saddam Hussein's face half cut off with his eyes are glaring off the page in order to create suspense and mystery. The editors have done this because Americans, especially the first family believe that Saddam hired or perhaps partnered with Osama Bin Laden to destroy the symbols of "stability" and "wealth" of the United States: the White House, the Pentagon, and the World Trade Center. Americans also believe that Saddam is ready to take revenge on the United States from its defeat during the Gulf War, ten years ago. Hussein's face is also cut off to make him look suspicious and evil; by putting a smile on his face, it appears that he has a clever plan of attacking the U.S. All these small, but very intentional details put into the Time magazine do not reflect the reality of the situation. This is only the Americans" point of view and their anticipation of what Hussein is planning to do. Canadians that do not know the whole story would think that Hussein is evil because of the way that Time magazine has portrayed him. Just as recording artist Marilyn Manson once said, "Society has always tried to find a scapegoat for its problems." In this case Hussein is America's scapegoat. The Americans decided to blame Hussein because they do not know how to solve the September 11th issue and they don't want to appear to not have all the answers.
