Fantastic, I love this post as it is not only informative but also breaks it down with good facts. I just hope more people can wake up. The way I like to think about the media is in plato's allegory of the cave. How the people are chained looking at a blank wall and how they percieve shadows as reality. The shadows are projected by the media and are in fact not reality. Thanks for this post to bring about awareness. In actual fact I never listen to the media or pay attention ;)
