They hype things up to such a frenzy that they influence the way the viewers think. I believe people are not as free-thinking as they think they are. This is not limited to politics, but also the economy, real estate, and other markets as well.






I agree. TV is not to be trusted for news nowadays. You have to read the newspapers and the journals. TV is about advertising and entertainment--ratings and profit. Those negative ads TV profits from are shameful.

I find Imus the most entertaining of the bunch--because he is so unpredictable--all over the map politically. He has a good heart, but is a bit too full of himself, as most "mediots" are these days.
