Mainstream Media’s Primary Objectives (Video) The mainstream - TopicsExpress



          

Mainstream Media’s Primary Objectives (Video) The mainstream media’s primary objectives are self-perpetuation (like any other business) and perception manipulation. In an attempt to remain relevant and viable in the ever-increasingly banal, superficial, and sensationalist atmosphere that dominates mainstream airwaves and publications, mainstream “news” sources employ polarization, fear-peddling, and superficiality to construct the foundation for the product they choose to emit to viewers, readers, and listeners alike. Division sells. Chaos equals job security. Polarization is achieved by stressing and magnifying what’s different between us, while downplaying and ignoring that which is similar. The alienating effect this produces boosts sales for advertisers and draws new viewers, readers, and listeners, while securing existing ones.
