The media has a tremendous amount of power and influence over the views of the citizens and they use it to their personal advantage at ALL times. The media which is now cable and web (print and broadcast TV are done) has moved from entertainment to to the manipulation of social thought for personal or political gain. The world of Orwell’s 1984 is now here and FOX is the current king but it will not last long as the government will take it over within the next few years as the politicians see the power that is available to them.
