Power of the media

It angers me at how powerful the media is these days. We get all these dumbasses feeding the unwashed masses telling them what to think and what to be concerned about.

You want real power? Be head of a media outlet.


Just disgusts me.

If you can't break it, then at least grassroots in your own community to get people involved/aware of things going on around them.

That means a bit more than a link to a charity/cause on DDM (although every bit counts).

The Rupert Murdochs of the world don't live forever. YET.

I agree 100%

Haven't been very fond of the media for as long as I can remember. I'd rather read my news from multiple sources than to hear one sided views from someone behind a desk.

Between reality shows and celebrity gossip the majority of network television is just bullshit anyways.

I like NBC Thursday nights, but that's about it from regular TV.

Re: Power of the media

The Media has as much power as people give it. Like Paige says, stop listening or viewing. But alas, there are people out there who think the Enquirer is real.

Re: Power of the media

I only pay attention to media sources that report news slanted to my own personal bias. It makes my convictions feel righteous.

I don't follow the media, but tons of people do and that is what annoys me.

I just wanted to bold that and say the word "Islam".

Too lazy to be any wittier than that.

I guess I should clarify and say I am not a fan of sensationalistic media outlets. Which covers most major networks and things of the sort.
