I'm with Art - I think the influence of media on our world-views is so pervasive that you couldn't even answer the question. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. It's like saying "I can't see my contact lenses" and believing that this means they aren't present. Actually, media influence is worse, since none of us can remember our world-views before media shaped them... As for myself, I know that I am particularly vulnerable to products that are prominently displayed in stores I like. I go to Barnes and Noble all the time, and if I see a book displayed in the front of the store enough, I will almost always start to think that I should read it.
