The media is what every loser and his mother in the US pay attention to and base their pathetic opinions off of. Not only is it the easiest crap to pander to, it's also possibly the most influential tool they can use.

The American media/propaganda machine (which the Empire's power moguls have brilliantly portrayed as "liberal" to obfuscate the fact that six corporate conglomerates own 90% of the mainstream media market) has sharply defined the "treasonous", "ineffectual" nature of "liberals", portraying them as soft on crime, sympathetic to those demonic terrorists, Socialists and Communists, immoral, and militarily weak.
With the advent of television, America's rulers found a near perfect medium to purvey their mind-numbing messages, and further demonize intellectualism. Advertisers bombard the minds of Americans with seductive images and false claims. Mainstream news provides a corporate- censored, watered-down view of domestic and world events. Judge Judy and Jerry Springer celebrate and promote the vulgar in human relations and interactions. Sex, sensationalism, and violence captivate the masses to stay glued to their televisions, giving the Plutocrats a direct pipeline to the minds of their subjects. Thankfully, their recent bid to pull the plug on public television appears to have failed. Big Bird and Front Line have survived the chopping block, for now.

It's the sway of the media that gets them into office. That's why.
There are many people who are eligible to vote who don't even know who stands for what. Listen to the media enough and which way it slants and they'll vote not for the person, but what they're taught.

because the media is watched by persons who can't think for themselves and watch mind numbing rubbish for hour after hour and after their brain is dead enough a politician comes along and tells lies and people are more susceptible because their brains are switched off
