Media Mind Control
How social media sways public opinion
Media Control
The media is a huge factor in the society we live in today both in the United States and most of the technologically advanced world. The media enables a select few to spread their opinion about an event or action over the wide audience of the world. the medias opinion is often able to sway the publics opinion in favor of their cause due to the media's power to provoke emotions like sadness, for example in relation to a shooting, or any other dramatic event. The media can take an event with high dramatic effects like a shooting or bombing for example and use the weakened emotionally blinded audience that's grieving to raise awareness for a call to action over their cause. They have done it in the past with events such as the Sandy Hooks elementary school shooting to such an extent that many believe the shooting was a conspiracy to raise awareness for gun control using a grieving United States. The media is allowed to say whatever they want, and even if it's not true, America is lead to believe and support it. Due to the medias extreme power, most of the population have turned into pawns that can hardly formulate their own opinions. The media is overpowered and needs to be paid less attention to.
