You haven't actually laid out an argument for how the mass media controls everything; all you've done is trying and string together a bunch of random opinions that have nothing to do with each other and form no coherent argument. This the problem. You want people to discuss things with you but there's nothing to discuss except random vague statements.

Thats because they are all related.

Mass media is a term used to denote a section of the media specifically envisioned and designed to reach a very large audience such as the population of a nation state. It was coined in the 1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks, mass-circulation newspapers and magazines, although mass media (like books and manuscripts) were present centuries before the term became common. The term public media has a similar meaning: it is the sum of the public mass distributors of news and entertainment across media such as newspapers, television, radio, broadcasting, which may require union membership in some large markets such as Newspaper Guild, AFTRA, & text publishers. The concept of mass media is complicated in some internet media as now individuals have a means of potential exposure on a scale comparable to what was previously restricted to select group of mass media producers.

I did note earlier more than 90% of these items stating in my opinion that TV is the worse one. My reason... Would be the assumtion that a larger number of ppl have TV then do any other input. Internet close second however i didnt study maybe greater with the introduction of mobile internet.

Cell phones are constantly pushed by mass media, And constantly feed you more. that was just one example.
All I got from that was pure hell. Nothing but B-s and cop outs
