I think: If you don't assume that billionaires that own the big media networks don't interfere with the news -- news that people find interesting and important -- that you have a foolish belief. That's just plain naive to me.
The assumption should be -- based on how our countries system works in reality -- that producers influence stories in a way that benefits them. This is almost certainly going to eventuate a circumstance where important and interesting stories and analysis are buried. There will be whole trends ideologies completely ignored and minimized. One of these is America's anti-abortion stance. I have always been a right to choose guy...but the reality is more Americans are against abortion past the 1st trimester than not. There are also far more people that believe abortion in any circumstance is murder than there are people that believe in 100% right to choose. But the impression given is that these people are a small minority of angry old asshole with signs outside of abortion clinics. Misleading statics are quoted like "well the majority don't side with them" (not mentioning that majority is still closer to them). I use that example because its one of the few where a right-wing opinion is actively suppressed by the media. Most the time it's America's left that is completely ignored and directed to the center via the democratic party and their networks. | ||
