Thats good; Fast Cars. I am interested to know; when I was younger I read The Hidden Persuaders that supposedly exposed all of advertisings tricks. Do people care?
Does the media really have that much impact? When I hear a claim on the media my first instinct is toward skepticism. I really believe nothing I see in ads or on some talking heads program. I do believe the news,( at least the reputable ones), but geez; you gotta believe something. And you have to believe that as proffessionals the newspeople would demand of themselves and their colleagues the best reportage that they can produce. Seems to me it would be a matter of pride.
But in terms of accepting whatever is offered by the media be it political or advertising in nature I take it all with a grain of salt; and the louder they shout the less I accept. Isn't everone like that?
