Now media giants have the power to control policy, A lot of people beleve in what the media say's, so you cannot say that media giants have no influence over people opinions
Remember the term:
"Your Provide the Pictures, I will provide the War"
The trouble is that people have got used to a system and they don't like chance (its a human instinct), but when it comes to a point where they have no hope in life, that can chage pretty fast
I would not describe myself as a socialist, they are too corrputed by many things (including links with Islamists) and by the way, I want a un-biased media! |
There you go again suggesting that the media controls people. No it does not!
People have minds of their own. You are confusing the facts here. Media giants are big because they provide a product that people want and not because they brainwash people into their point of view.
There is no such thing as bias free media. Everyone has an opinion, including journalists. People buy Murdochs media because his media shares the persons point of view and not because they are trying to buy in to his way of thinking - they already think the same he does on those issues.
His political influence, or any other outlets influence for that matter, is due to the fact that they know that their consumer base supports their view. It really is that simple.
If tomorrow Murdochs outlet headlines 'Lets all be paedos', will Britain become a nation of paedophiles? Under your world view yes, but in reality no because at this point the view of the consumer and media outlet would differ so the consumers vote with their feet and find a more appropriate media outlet.
