Media is the only thing we know. It is basically our only source to the outside world, and we tend to trust the media. This is dangerous. This leads to brainwashing. We are all brainwashed. |

The truth is somewhere in the middle
I agree. |

I think there isn't a single country in the world with objective media, often it seems certain things are just ignored. I think I am pretty lucky for living in the netherlands, the news here seems to be pretty ok most of the time. |

Neruo, I think we as europeans always think everything happening here (reports of media of any kind) is more true - closer to reality than in america and north korea etc ..... but you know, that just shows how much they already fucked with us. |

I agree that the media is ridiculous in many ways. It really is disgusting how a hundred pregnant women get killed in American ghettoes in a short time, but as soon as a successful white guy kills his pregnant woman, it is treated like some major world news story. Rapes, kidnappings, and murders of non-celebrities are way too common for it to make sense to take just one of them and treat it like the biggest news story there is. Fox News will dedicate half of a show to talking about World War III in the Middle East and the other half to Scott Peterson. That is stupid!!! They also do sick things like stick microphones in the faces of victims and seduce victims' family members into interviews the DAY OF the tragedy. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
Here's the fatal flaw in all of your anti-media setiments. |

Ironically, I just read this article in my newspaper, something that probably isn't in American newspapers: an article about press freedom in all the countries of the world. A huge yearly global independent research. |

I was reading in my psychology book about gender something and it was talking about ever since kids are young they watch TV. And the commercials come on all the guys are playing with ninja turtles and girls are putting on false make up toys or something. And it said that it brainwashed girls into only liking certain toys and guy only wanting to play with violent things. |
