Eg there are SO many things that I only have any knowledge of, because of the media banging on about them. If the media didn't say anything, LESS people would have even the faintest notion of those things. Classic long time example is the media going on about thin runway models and anorexia. How many girls would be aware of it, if it wasn't for those gripes by the media?

Actually it is going on. How do you think the likes of Stephen yaxley Lennon and Breitbart got to the position they did? It wasn’t as a result of media coverage. It’s also worth remembering that ISIS have been very successful taking advantage of the way people share data online to recruit people.
That does not mean the media don’t bear a lot of the blame. They do, but it’s not either/or. It’s both.
