I wholly agree with what Yu Qi Z. wrote in "The Power of Words." Reading the inaccurate news coverage of the murder of two graduate students proves that words can distort the public's of the truth.

Words sink deeper than bullets. In Yu Qi's article, it says, "the title suggested that the students were killed because they were being ostentatious." and "the words 'luxury car' were like a fuse that cast the student victims and their families in a critical light." Changing a few words on a headline and twisting facts are significant enough to not only erase the importance of the students' lives, but to also damage their reputation.
