  What does the media have to do with our control over government besides nothing?

    People don't make decisions in a vacuum. Their choices are dramatically controlled by the information that they receive and their culture. The media has a large influence on both of these factors, therefore they have a large amount of de facto control over the government even if they don't have direct control over government.

      A lot of things influence your decisions but it is you that makes those decisions. The media, as an entity, cannot and does not vote.
