How have you allowed yourself to be totally influenced by a biased and corrupt media?

And which media? We live in a time in which more media sources, of all types, are available than at any time in human history.

Sadly too many people do allow the media to influence them. Especially when they're being told what they want to hear by their favorite stations.

There was a time when we could watch the news and trust what we were being told for the most part. The end of that started in the 80's when a news station was bought by a corporation and broadcast journalism turned into a ratings frenzy because higher ratings means more money. The nail was further driven into the coffin when the first all news station began broadcasting. All they do is share their opinions, they don't actually report the news.

IMO all media is corrupt to a degree. There is no such thing as 'fair and balanced' or 'the station you can trust.' I read from several different sites and try to find the truth somewhere in the middle.
