Yes, there are problems with the media, I will agree with anyone on that remark.
Though, we have to be responsible enough to throttle our media exposure. We need to consider the amount of content that we allow ourselves to watch. We need to consider the sources of information presented to us and determine the amount of validity in such information. We also need to remember that anyone who is taking the time and effort to send us a message is doing so for their benefit, not ours.
Anywhere you go, anything that you do you must understand that no-one out in this world has all the answers. There are no absolutes from any one person. If you are led to beleive that any one source can give you all the answers you have become a sheep. Such things happen when you do only consider one side of the story, or get all of your information from a single source. You tend to pick up and repeat the biases that were presented to you from said source.
It is up to parents, educators and ultimately the individual to take responsibility and actively filter that which is input into the mind. Only by effectively considering reliability of information expressed by a party can one make reasonable decisions.
