Symbiotes
A symbiotic relationship is where two entities interact and
benefit one another. This is certainly true of the media and
terrorist activities. Terrorists commit an act and the media
reports on it for ratings. In turn, the terrorist individual or
group has their message spread on a large scale. “Of course, we
long knew that this coverage could theoretically cater to the
interests of terrorist groups by spreading their message, creating
fear in a target society, and recruiting followers” (Jetter, 2018).
It ends up being a win-win for the two regardless of any
negative outcomes.
One example of this is the beheadings in the early 2000s. When
video was released of the beheadings to the media they were
widely disseminated to the public to spread the group’s
ideologies. Another interesting incident that was media aid to
terrorists was none other than Geraldo Rivera’s live
broadcasting of Army movements in Iraq. Geraldo was attached
to the 101st Airborne unit and on live television drew a map in
the sand at his feet to show current military positions as well as
movements in the near future (Plante, 2003). Although it is
unknown if any terrorist action came directly as a result of this
it did show a direct connection between the media and its
relationship with terrorists.
U.S. Government & 1st Amendment
What is interesting about the U.S. Constitution and its
Amendments and the American people is that people do not
seem to understand that the Constitution merely outlines the
powers given and limited to the federal government of the U.S.

2. The 1st Amendment, in short, means the government cannot
interfere or make laws pertaining to the context of the
amendment. It does not state that the government has to
divulge information. The courts and judges have established
reasonable laws that may effect the freedom of the press when it
does pertain to matters of national security. All in all, the
government can limit the press when it is a matter of national
security and simply not divulge information regarding
government decisions and terrorist actions.
