the media has a lot to do with it

[divabat]

It's important to remember that "the media" isn't a monolith; for every apocalyptic OMG DEATH FATTIES channel out there, there are also many other media channels that work on lessening bias (because it's probably not possible to be 100% unbiased), on factual reports, on fairness and balance. The great thing about today is that it's far easier to participate in the media, *be* a media channel - and it's also in a sense a lot easier to reach out to people because it's not All or Nothing.

You're right, it's something that passed through my mind ever so briefly and I totally forgot to mention it!! We're producing media too - we're just tapping in to smaller markets with limited reach, but all the same, we can affect more individuals than "ordinary people" a decade ago could!
