World community in the modern era can not be separated from the mass media because the media is the element of public communication. The mass media is also seen as a non-part of government that seeks to help shape and influence the common view. This is because the mass media delivering communication and information dissemination which can be accessed by the public at large, plus this globalization era, the relationship between national borders become increasingly smaller. With the advancement of technology in the rapid growth of the Internet and can be accessed by all segments of society. Mass media actually has a very important position to influence the public.
Mass media could become great tool which elites used for dissemination of the ruling ideology, a tool of legitimacy and control over public discourse. Mass media as a social institution of freedom of speech has been growing as a service industry that serves the information society, therefore the mass media is strictly controlled by the owners of capital. Mobilized mass media to influence people’s behavior, thereby the mass media is an important tool to achieve the goal of an interest group. Freedom of communication made by the mass media on society can affect change, if it concerns an elite interests. Media is also able to mobilize public opinion against the union of certain incident.
Freedom argued those in the shade of a democracy can lead to persecution. Form of speech that is irresponsible and not tolerance among humans is the shooting of journalist Charlie Hebdo magazine, it is a result of excessive freedom irresponsible that made the magazine Charlie Hebdo. Global audience has to know that the French magazine Charlie Hebdo has many publish pictures of Muhammad on the pretext of not guilty to the magazine considers the publication of drawings of Muhammad is a form of freedom of speech, the French state is also based on democracy, so the journalist magazine Charlie Hebdo rate it the legitimate carried. But referring to the values of tolerance, it is of course very wrong. Freedom of speech should still maintain harmonious relations among individuals with certain groups. Muslims certainly very condemned the magazine Charlie Hebdo, and the act of shooting the people who have to draw the prophet Muhammad also not justified, but the shooting was certainly occur as a result of freedom speech which are not responsible.
Charlie Hebdo journalist considers of deeds draw the prophet Muhammad are their rights, they are part of the French democratic state of society not part of Islam that prohibits images of Prophet Muhammad. According to common sense and justice even if it can not be accepted. How could those international mass media like is not condemned magazine Charlie Hebdo. The highlights news from western mass media the act of journalists shooting, even the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, fully supports reissuing magazine Charlie Hebdo after the tragedy while presenting the face of the prophet Muhammad. And very disappointed while several other Western media participate publish controversial pages of the magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Freedom of speech in the mass media has actually governed by the elite. Freedom of the media will be more closed due to lack of control and concerning the interests of certain parties, both ideological and pragmatic interests. Closed form of mass media immediately visible from the Chapel Hill tragedy, firing on three Muslim students in the United States. In the tragedy of Charlie Hebdo, the mass media in a matter of hours after the tragedy occurred immediately spread the news of the tragedy on an ongoing basis with the only highlight and push the parties shooter journalists, the Western media even less highlights and not too concerned about the depiction of the prophet Muhammad. But the tragedy Chapel Hill Western mass media response is very slow, even if there is news about the tragedy Chapel Hill was only a few lines. Contrast to the tragedy that Charlie Hebdo headlines or major topic for two weeks. Responses given by the leaders of the Western countries only from the president of the United States, and even then three days after the tragedy Chapel Hill, when tragedy Charlie Hebdo within a matter hours presidents of European countries and the USA as well as UN Secretary-General immediately announced their criticism of tragedy Charlie Hebdo. However, Media Indonesia reported citizens of the United States also condolences and feel sorry for the tragedy that befell three Muslim students. Western media will not or simply lift that reality into the news.
Indeed, Irony happened in freedom of speech. Violence against the Jewish community, will soon be linked to the anti-Semitic actions by the mass media. But violence or murder of the Muslim community only in passing, even tend to be ignored. The style that preached by the Western media about Islam tends closely related to acts of terrorism alone. It was already evident from the two incident tragedy, Charlie Hebdo and Chapel Hill. Freedom of speech should not only maintain tolerance but also justice. Because tolerance maintained in line with the implementation of the public peace, with it then there is no abuse of freedom and not be lost the true essence of a freedom.
