"Today, big media has lost interest in policy substance almost altogether. Analysis of major policy announcements is viewed almost exclusively through the prism of polling numbers."

There is no doubt "Mainstream Media" often attempts to influence opinion through their carefully crafted narratives. But an equally troubling trend is how todayâs public opinion influences what will be tomorrows news. Media organizations are sincere when they say, "We care about what you think." It's not that their consumerâs opinions substantially matter. It is simply a tool to tell lazy undereducated journalists how to frame their "news" to have the most impact.
