The news media in our digital age has become more of an impact than any other time in human history. In no other era has news traveled to all corners of the globe faster than it does today with the domination of internet and television. With the worldwide media spreading faster and to more people than ever the oppurtunity araises with companies to advertise their products through these news mediums. The propaganda liked with the messages taken from our global media comes from the notion that major corporations want to show advertisments that progress the image and survival of themselves. This can be seen with the filtering of ads on major television networks and large internet news sites. These media sources are out to make lifetime viewers of the public, at a cost of our full rounded perspectives. We as the public are in a position, more than ever, to question the news that is filtered into our homes. The competition of news causes a swelling of propaganda to push and pursade veiwers into watching selected programming. Goods and services are so emersed in our culture that not even politics can escape their grasp. Politians are many times enfused with the concepts dirieved from the major corportions that they say they are against. The simple fact of it is, we believe what we see, hear and read in the main stream media. We have a notion that if its suitable to air that it must be true, leaving a vastly misinformed and manipulated western culture. The key is to question why? Why is this ad being aired? Who is its purpose and who is benefitting? This can be reached out to programming and the constructions of our "on air" media personalities. The stretches of the propaganda can reach across our media and its no question that its harmful to the well being of the culture in its entirity.
