Media is media just like politicians are politicians. It's a business first/ideology second world. The ideology is packaged for delivery to the masses. No, I don't think for a minute that you're stupid. <g> But I don't think it's quite as simple as that. I think that you have media to try to push their agenda, media that throw red meat to their audience's agenda, and media who try to play it straight. If I read you correctly, you think it's all number 2. I see one and three, as well. One is complicated by the fact that it is sometimes intentional and other times unintentional. Three is complicated by the fact that it's so hard to effect and those in that group cannot fully cast off their own agendas or ignore their audiences. But I think that all three efforts are out there.
