I think you may be right.
Mass media - mainly TV - takes in all the garbage people offer up and market it as entertainment. Unfortunately, our society has fallen in love with reality TV so what the "news" programs are feeding people is just more of the same. Moreover, many "news" networks like MSNBC for the democtats and Fox News for the republicans feeds the reality desires with content that matches viewers beliefs. That downside is that many take this garbage for news and never see a balances perspective. either on TV or the internet. That's because they tune in right for their program or go directly to places on the internet.
Newspapers are the only vehicle for a way to share news that people actually stumble upon things they didn't already know about.
We are doomed.
