What is medias use of diffrent body images?

Question

what part does medias play in promoting certain body types and steriotypes..

Answer 1

A very big one.

Answer 2

In my opinion, they are instigators.They see a normal sized star and they critique every single flaw on her body(love handle,cellulite,big butt). But they see thin girls and they are quick to say they're hot.

I just watched Wanted and Angelina Jolie was thinner than usual.

On the other hand, I think if a woman is thin and has no b*****s or hips they consider her anorexic/unhealthy(Keira Knightley)

But if a woman is thin but has some b*****s(fake or not) she's the hottest girl(Victoria Beckham)
