lmao yeah i think so
I didn't want to make a new thread for this, so I'm posting it here because it's tangentially related.
I think an often overlooked issue in any election is the effect of mass media on the democratic process. Especially when the largest organs are consolidated into the hands of a small circle of individuals. How much can the public opinions be molded and their perceptions shaped by a concerted media campaign? How much sway does a network executive have in an election by using his position to support a candidate congenial to his interests, or oppose an unfriendly one?
Does a concentration of media property subvert the democratic process?
I'm not sure why some people think people of the past were any better than modern people.

Of course. It's happening right now.
The media is left biased and so are our places of learning and other areas that educate our youth, effectively brainwashing our future generations.
