Not at all. My concern is that an extremely powerful propaganda machine, the mass media, are about the business of an openly biased agenda, and that they will lie, distort and invent stories to foster that agenda. This is very dangerous because people will react to what they see on TV 'news' and to what read in the printed media. People vote based on the information they glean from the mass media.
'Reporting' is supposed to be just that, 'reporting' the news--- objectively reporting on events to the people so we can be informed. Instead they are literally creating 'news' with omissions, distortions and outright lies. When the news media becomes nothing but a propaganda machine for a particular political party and particular political agendas like abortion, homosexual 'rights', feminism, etc, it is an indefensible practice, and does not serve the good of our country.
Baloney!
You're correct.

The "media" forms and shapes public opinion.
