My take on Zimmerman and the liberal media

[minionofmidas]

The media does not tell you what to think: it is not yet powerful enough to do that. What it does, however, is tell you what to think about. Its purpose is not to inform or change minds but to solidify the existing prejudices and preconceptions of its viewers. It is a liberal media if you believe it to be so; it is also a conservative media if you choose to believe that instead.

The last sentence is cute; I agree with the remainder except for the "yet". Though a lot of journos try, of course.

Thanks, I am now thoroughly patronized.

Only if you believe yourself to be so.
