Wow, Art, that was...depressing.
Personally, I think that the media only reflects cultural ourselves back at us. And that we're unfortunately flawed. Perhaps the media enhances those flaws somehow, but ultimately we're to blame, not the media, who, by the way, is us anyway.
Convoluted? Yes.
Hmm, after rereading that, maybe I'm agreeing with you Art.... I need to ponder that some more.
