The connection is not that direct, the media is influential but not the primary factor. Advertising isn't magic after all.

- tialaramex 7y agoThe Americans are currently getting a worked example of how a billionaire spending their money on advertising can ensure voters know who they are but those voters might still say "Oh that guy, he's fucking awful, No".
- JauntyHatAngle 7y agoThat is a different example though. Bloomberg is spending money on himself and is an obvious outlier. The media/coorps in most cases of lobbying/bias are not batting for themselves directly, they're batting for their own interests in (somewhat) more subtle ways and/or supporting a candidate who aligns with their own interests. Murdoch in Australia owns 70% of the press, and in a mostly ignorant society, that leads to the narrative being highly skewed for many decades.
