I do think big media have a lot of power to influence elections, but I'm not ready to give up on democracy yet. Also, it's only possible for me to abdicate the responsibility of one voter, not all of us.
- pferde 7y agoBig media has always had a lot of power to influence election. This is mostly about FB being the new kid on this block, and traditional big media not liking it, and firing at FB from all barrels. I do not like Facebook at all, but I can recognize a sustained media smear campaign when it's smacking me in the eyeballs every day.
