The mainstream media is coming to eat you and your children with their giant cell phones and TVs. Run for you lives! Save yourselves by acting irrationally! Ah! Okay, now that that's over, let's get serious, shall we? I hate talking points...all of them. They lack substance and any real motivation to get anything done. So I do the best I can to annihilate, to rid the world of such nonsensical banter and replace it with science. Some believe that is too difficult to do, but, though the internet is pretty full of shit, it also has a wealth of extremely valuable information that is readily available to the populous for free for the first time in human history. One such bit of information is found in this episode on media and human behavior. Turns out scientists from several different nations ran a comprehensive study on how media influences us, and the findings are probably not what you would expect. But let me first assure you that the people over at Kansas University, who published the study, are not the kind of folks you would normally associate with liberal causes. These are just scientists trying to spread knowledge so any rejection of these people and their findings is rejection of scientific fact. This study sampled over 80,000 articles across several different nations and polled thousands of people worldwide. This study is one of the best of its kind; it's thorough and plays not guessing games. So what did they find? Well, much to the chagrin of conspiracy theorists who believe they are important enough to be "brainwashed" by the media, it turned out that media influenced people differently depending on the nation. The most interesting part of the study disproves the evil mainstream media theory right off the bat. It turns out that people who live in wealthy nations like the United States are less influenced by the media than people living in less developed nations. Know why? Because of the diversity of our media! Our media is one of the most diverse in the world, offering different viewpoints from different types of people and causes, the very cornerstone of democracy. So, why are conservatives defaming our very free media and trying to destroy it? Find out on More Content Talk.
