Um, this is not a change. The media has always been used to influence people, and to be honest that's not such a bad thing. You can read an article and sure, the way in which it's written may make you think a certain way, but you have some information and anyone who really cares about an issue will research it more fully, and then come to their own conclusions.

Youre JUST hearing about this? Media has been like this for years. You guys probably dont get Fox News over there, but thats the most misleading news station ever. 63% of people who watch it think we found a connection between Al Quida and Iraq, while only 16% of people who dont watch Fox News think so as well. It's insane.

Some Media isnt bad. Some is just straight foward facts. Newspapers are reliable mostly, but 24 hour news networks are rediculous.

Sky News are pretty awful too, when some satellite or spacecraft (can't remember which) was being brought back into the atmosphere they had some report about how it was going to be caught or whatever as if they were using tractor beams.

In reality I think they were just flying it.

The Daily Mail is hilarious.

They are soo biased.

"IMMIGRANT STEALS BREAD!"
So he can live because he's homeless.

"GAY MAN GETTING MARRIED IN A CHURCH!"
Because it's the same church he was christianed in.

"ASIAN PRISONER LOOSE!"
Along with 150 other people but they are not foreign so who cares.
