Re: Does the media control us?

Noam Chomsky is a genius. Google "Manufacturing Consent" and watch the video on Google. It's long, but should be required viewing for everyone, imo.

Edit: Also, Wikipedia is your friend if you want to learn who he is and what he's about.

Re: Does the media control us?

Thank you Brain.

Chomsky is the man when it comes to media, you aren't having a discussion on media if you don't know who he is it is actually that simple.

He was the most cited man alive from 1980-1992.

Pfft. Swine flu? Superstitious nonsense. But yeah, I'm actually not worried about swine flu because of the media making a point that it's hardly killed anyone. I don't want to die, you see.

Does the media control us? To some extent. That's the obvious answer, and I hold that it's the correct answer. Occam's razor and all that. It really depends on how gullible you are.

Still, I don't think it's right to think of the media as some omnipotent being that's constantly trying to corrupt us. As long as they keep me entertained with newspapers, television and DVDs, they can do what they like. Doesn't bother me.

Re: Does the media control us?

Well, I don't know if it technically qualifies as superstitious. Let's ask Google:

Quote:
superstition - an irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear
Hey, would you look at that. We are but puppets.
