Here is an interesting conversation that helps describe the effect of media on Politics. After spending so much time talking about the complexities of leadership and succession, we tackle the effect of such powerful conglomerates on the political systems of whole continents but in this regard-the US Election. You might enjoy reading about the conversations that have been taking place in the current age about social media and technology companies and the attempt to separate the media function from the technology function. You might also appreciate the constant back and forth between Russia and the US and the claim about election interference. The ability of current systems to mine data and derive all sorts of useful stats about citizens which is often used to manipulate them is also quite concerning.
