is the U.S. media honest with the public?

Answer 1

C,

I think you already know the answer to this question. Most people are truly unaware of the power of the media. It has the power to control people's attitudes to a degree that is frightening. Most folks don't have a clue how much their beliefs about life in general, are shaped by television, radio, and newspapers. The secret to their power, is subtlety. They ever so carefully make innuendos about what attitudes are good, and which ones are bad. To think that this power is not being directed by monied interests, is absurd. Never in the history of the human race, have we been exposed to this kind of mind control. Sometime, set up a large mirror at an angle to your television, and sit back some distance, so that you are not looking directly at it. Look just to the side of the mirror, so that you can see what the TV is doing in your peripheral vision. You will notice that the vast majority of images and messages, are flashed at you faster than you have time to think about it. These images and thoughts reach your subconscious mind, before you have time to critically analyze them. This is exactly how hypnosis works. Every day, people sit in front of their TVs, and have their attitudes and beliefs shaped by forces that do not have their best interests in mind. I tell everyone I know, to turn off the tube for good. You might think I was asking them to cut off a hand, when you see the responses I get. This just tells me that I am probably right about all this. They have been programmed with the need to continue watching, and don't know what to do without their electronic drug. Just my two cents.

No commercial media was ever or could ever be honest within themselves or with the public,U.S. or anywhere.It's a faulty public perception,which no body,least of all the Media itself ,would like to correct.Another faulty public perception was exposed when some studies during late forties and early fifties in USA revealed that contrary to to general belief ,It's the media which influenced public opinion than the other way around.Even today all media sources swear by public- good,public- opinion,duties towards public or society ,being voices of masses and what not.The reality is that like any other business,it has to protect it's own interests first,earn for the share holders and build capital for expansion and domination . In doing so, it would strive or appear to strive to represent the public and be their voices. Appearances,when dressed properly, can beat realities hands down,But does public know or care about it?
