Benefets street title sequence and how they manipulate ones perception of the media

One of the first things that sprung to my mind about when i asked myself how do the media manipulate reality was this title sequence,as this title sequence finishes off with a woman from the street called big d who says "you could have nothing and have all the money in the world and have nothing compared to what we have down here",then moves on to a shot with 3 drunk people.Why did they have to use imagery like this at the start they could of used a piece of footage that actually put the series in a good light.I believe the media did this to give the impression that this series was going to be about showing how bad the people on this street are and i believe their target audience would have been middle class people that like to look down on people that are not as well off as they are.In conclusion i believe this is terrible and makes me wonder why people think its ok to broadcast stuff like this.
