In relation to today's poll, I believe media companies exist for that very reason. They promote the agenda of those wealthy enough to pay for it.

If you push a story through the mainstream media quickly and convincingly it could be complete fiction, but 95% of the people who see/hear it will believe it as fact.

The best examples are 9/11 and 7/7 where the media swung into action immediately naming the alleged culprits, and creating a narrative around those events that seemed plausible.

The most recent and (sadly) successful example was the Scottish referendum. Wealthy vested interests employed scare tactics across the mainstream media to ensure Scotland didn't gain independence.

The news on your TV and in your paper is mothing more than slickly presented propoganda designed to manipulate your thoughts.

Sorry to go on, but when I saw 50% voting no to today's poll, I was gobsmacked.

{Ed001's Note - I fully agree with you, there are so many examples, from Hillsborough tragedy to the Yew Tree paedophile investigation, where it is clearly being manipulated by media reporting. You only have to look at 'global warming' where the media reported utter nonsense for so long that still a large portion of the population believe it is happening, even though it has been so proven as nonsense they have changed the term to 'climate change' instead.}

I think some1 said newsreaders are paid actors reading from a script, sort of makes sense, then you see movies like mission impossible and shaun of the dead with real so called readers playing a part in the movie or just reading from a script, deja vu.
