media/democracy

I think that media plays an important role in democracy. The citizens of our nation are entitled to every peice of information we can access which isnt always available and ready-made for us. The mass media as well as coporate influnce does have the power to sway things from one side to the other due to nature of there power. i see this as very powerful and strong force however i see it just as scary. The market aslo does not in my opinion offer a wide rage of veiws because it is really just the biggest running everything. I do think that the usage should be limited however I cant imagine how we limit it. These conglomerates are not something you can "grant" a certain amount of usage to. I think there say in things and the availability of knowledge to the masses is a powerful and helpful tool however it should be limited. The goverment should be able to limit there usage but in this situation, the people should be able to.
