About this Quote

This quote by Kate Moss speaks with the power of the media and how it can shape public opinion. Moss was picked as a scapegoat, suggesting that the media needed to put obligation on somebody and she was the one they selected. This is likely due to her thin frame, which the media interpreted as anorexia. This is an example of how the media can take something and twist it to fit their narrative, despite the reality. Moss is pointing out how ridiculous it is to assume that somebody is anorexic merely due to the fact that they are thin. This quote speaks with the power of the media and how it can form public opinion, as well as the significance of being aware of how the media can control information.
