Rewrite the following paragraphs (taken from student papers) to eliminate the judgmental and emotive language.

1.     People's opinions are so malleable and easily influenced by the media that misrepresentations of certain concepts or individuals are very dangerous and damaging. Unfortunately, many times the newspapers, films, and books people are exposed to are indoctrinating and therefore misrepresent concepts by depicting them in a prejudiced manner.  The most blatant medium of biased writing is propaganda literature.
 
2.     Dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War and continuing up to the present day, men and women in our armed forces have bravely fought against all odds and have at times proven themselves as heroes.  These men and women either risked life and limb for fellow soldiers or bravely completed an objective against all odds.  Not every soldier deserves to be called a hero, even though we ought to be thankful for their service.
 
3.     "Fahrenheit 9/11," a film written, produced and directed by Michael Moore, uses distorted or entirely fabricated facts to propagate ill feelings against the Bush administration and, in turn, influence the 2004 presidential election.  Moore strategically produced this movie, using specific techniques such as musical arrangement, altered interviews, and more, knowing the outcome would end up being an attempt of a political assassination for the re-election of President Bush.
