Media influence biased

Is the media trying to influence how you think?

Are they trying to influence what you eat?

Is the media attempting to influence every aspect of your life?

Some peo­ple are con­cerned that we no longer have a free media in this nation, per­haps that has been the case for along time now how­ev­er, before the Inter­net, knowl­edge was lim­it­ed. 

Just like back in the 1950s the aver­age read­ing age of an Amer­i­can was much low­er than it is today when a much larg­er per­cent­age of the pop­u­la­tion can now read, knowl­edge has changed and the way we learn has changed with com­put­ers, you can choose the type of knowl­edge that you are inter­est­ed in learn­ing.

From web­sites to ebooks and even portable read­ers, like the kin­dle or the ipad, which can car­ry movies, arti­cles, audio books, and more, how­ev­er it appears that the media has not fac­tored this into its news cov­er­age and so we see a lot of what must be termed, (alleged­ly) bias in the media because they hope to try and influ­ence the thoughts of peo­ple who are free to do and to think as they want.

That is a seri­ous prob­lem, because when you try to con­trol the free­dom of a peo­ple you will not find it an easy thing to do, which explains some of the behav­ior that you so often see on some of the more lib­er­al news com­pa­nies.

It is frankly dis­turb­ing and it is some­thing that should not be even allowed, but that same free­dom again is what made this nation great, the media seems to have for­got­ten where its bread is but­tered.

Who do you think sup­ports the media?

If you said Adver­tis­ers, you are only half right, the real sup­port­ers of the media are the peo­ple, because if peo­ple stopped buy­ing prod­ucts that are adver­tised on media out­lets then there would be no need for adver­tise­ments.

When the media attemp­t’s to influ­ence the thoughts of peo­ple using key­words and phras­es or even sub­lim­i­nal pro­gram­ming or using words and actions of Bob­ble heads, then you have a con­flict of inter­est.  Adver­tis­ers just want peo­ple to come and to buy their prod­ucts, how­ev­er over time the objec­tive of some news com­pa­nies has not been adver­tis­ing but influ­ence.

That is a real prob­lem to the free­dom of the press as a whole.

Think about that the next time you buy a prod­uct you have seen adver­tised on a net­work that thinks less of your than they do the agen­da of thought con­trol and influ­ence.  When you have some­one whis­per­ing in your ear that the sky is pur­ple, over time you will come to believe that the sky is in fact pur­ple, or is that real­ly true at all?  We know that some media com­pa­nies believe that this is in fact true, that if they tell enough lies, if they tell you the lie, enough times, that you will even­tu­al­ly come to believe it.

The thing is that dis­counts human will, and that is a strong thing, we know from sci­ence and from his­to­ry those that “think” they know every­thing often end up lam­pooned on the petards of their own devices.  It is some­thing to con­sid­er sim­ply because over the last four elec­tions there have been numer­ous attempts by the media to influ­ence the out­come of an elec­tion in favor of one polit­i­cal par­ty, in fact we have seen that fund­ing from the pub­lic has been used to sup­port some media com­pa­nies that tend to only present one point of view, now that is not only wrong, but it is against the spir­it of the Amer­i­can peo­ple.

Yet, we allow it to con­tin­ue, when a peo­ple are pushed too far even­tu­al­ly they will not accept the wants of the lessor pow­er.

We have free will and that is some­thing that no media com­pa­ny can take away.
