(56,213 posts)voters rely on the media for much of the information upon which they make their decision. what i'd like to see is a media that presents relevant information in the genuinely unbiased fashion and lets the voters make proper, informed decisions. but that's not even close to the media we have.
of course voters can make up their own minds regardless, and many do notwithstanding the media's best efforts. but many can't be superhuman and accurately adjust for all the media bias, misinformation, disinformation, etc.
surely you'll agree that the media at least has the power to affect the decisions of at least 80,000 people....
at a minimum, powerful people throughout world history have gained and preserved power against the interests of the people by abusing the power of the press.
