Therefore no media coverage had been given to rise of Berlin Wall. However, it falling also marked the end of an "evil" social order. This event triggered mass celebrations, some of which had been "cooked" by the media while others had been completely "natural."

Resolution of Issues

November 9, 1989 saw the fall of the Berlin Wall and it also marked a special occasion in for German families, which had been divided, ever since the wall had been erected in 1961. Bohn and Berntsen (2007) assert that almost all outstanding issues between the East and West Germany had been resolved subsequent to the fall. In fact, East Germany had also decided to build a memoir. Some issues however stirred up heated debates. This was particularly true when some quarters in Germany called for, "a Berlin memorial to the six million Jews who died in Europe during the Second World War (Loshitzky, 1997)." This issue, along with other issues, however, had been peacefully resolved with no more German blood being spilt (Loshitzky, 1997).
Retrospective Analysis and Conclusion

From the information presented above, it is clear that media had been extremely biased in its coverage of the fall of the Berlin wall. To begin with, it did not cover the events that led to its creation. During its fall, it only brought forth those footings that supported its stance of being the morally-correct social order in World. Bitter rivals of the Soviet social order, the United States and their Nato allies used this occasion to support their political stance of being the forces of good.
