A Global call to arms - Boycott Mainstream Media~!

"You started this war, plunged Earth into chaos, and now the Internet is going to put you down, and restore the peace!"

Plunged Earth into Chaos... off to a good start.

-
"Please, if you are reading this, boycot the main stream media! Use Reddit and online credible and unbiased news sites to learn about the world. The Corperate media has a monopoly on TV."

Everywhere is biased. Unbiased is practically a myth. Money has a grip on far more than just TV.

-
"It's important for all of you to understand that we are the sum of our experiences, and some of us spend a LOT of time in front of the TV."

Many who watch TV these days don't watch the news for a myriad of reasons.

-
"This gives us a lot of "experiences" and changes us on a fundamental level. It manipulates us, and forms oppinions in our mind that aren't our own."

Very few opinions are actually "our own" if you see a manipulated opinion as less genuine. 


-
"If you need evidence, please look at funding media campigns and their relation to US presidents. It's not the best president that gets picked, it's the president that gets the most corperate backing, and buys the most media advertising."

What exactly constitutes a "best president"?

-
"This is a sickness on our world. Please help to end it! Boycot the mainstream media!"

This will accomplish nothing.

I don't see anything wrong with how I responded. You need to look at things critically if you are to find real ways to fix a problem.

You think your cynicism doesn't make you as clever and knowledgable about the world as you'd like to think.

I'm not sure I follow. Why would my way of seeing things have me understand the world less?

Like people who live in third world countries who are too poor to even get a square meal a day , let alone a bloody smartphone, ipad or similar.

Then theres those who just simply dont have access due to location.

The internet isnt a "fix-all" for the worlds issues luna.

Luna, I think your chart proves that national ty is relevant. Don't you? or isn't that mainstream media? It is to me.

3rd world countries are not a result of America or capitalism. They are a result of a lack of resources, and over population.
