Not at all true. Mediums such as (film, broadcastTV, CableTV, print, radio all use the same tactics to enhance their ratings / viewers / audience. Media is a word to describe the sector - communications, distribution, etc. The so-called traditional media skirt any so-called ethics and publish what gets them the most attention. Their ads are not subject to any overview aside from the FTC's loose rules on TIA and the whims of management. This is why Fox News is able to thrive, there is no requirement to be correct or accurate or even fair... Hence the irony of their long time tag line. Next time you see that ad for unlimited bandwidth or a money back guarantee or a "free" what ever, note the medium. Its everywhere on every medium.
