Media Power

"Does the media wield too much power in America?" Today, with all of our advanced technology, the media influences our lives more than ever.

The media also has a lot of bad influences on politics, ads which promote uninformed voting, brainwashing the publics beliefs and only informing the public about what they believe to be important. I do believe that the media does wield too much power in America, they should not be allowed to present biased news to the public and let them make up their own minds on what they want to believe.
