roachboy: Without turning this into a huge political discussion, and not knowing what some of the words you are saying mean, it is way to simple to turn this into a left and right issue. Both sites use media pretty much equally. And it's two simple to define and left and a right.
Back to the original question - There is an important theory called the third person effect. A bunch of things have been written on it, but basically, it says that everyone thinks that media affects the other guy more than themselves. Of course that can't be true for everyone! So, it means that advertising affects us all more than we'd like to believe.
