I think most of us agree on these forums that the media, especially mainstream television plays a huge role in the way people think and their herd-like behavior. Most of us on here either weren't around or weren't paying attention to politics before the advent of the television. I think it has become a disgustingly effective means of control, but before television we had radio, newspaper, and cinema, which were also often controlled and certainly played a large role in influencing the public. Then there's the internet, but I want to stay on topic and just discuss the ubiquitous television in every household. Were we as Americans more informed before television? The media has always lied to us, regardless of presentation. What do others think? Are we easier to control with or without the television as a systemic means of communication?
