It's really about the fact that every man can make any choice he wants and he is free to try to accomplish anything he can think of.

Misinterpretation is the basis of religion. And after you institute a certain belief system into a person's head you can make every other opinion look bad just because it contradicts the higher authority figure that you created.

This is what manipulation is really about. We shouldn't care about what the media does, because ultimately it can alter none of our decisions, so it is irrelevant.

Any group that has hairy ideas is worthy of our ignorance and nothing else because they are trying to fight their best ally, the world.
I agree with the first part but not so much the second, the media certainly influences our opinions, but so does... EVERYTHING.

The media really is the great scapegoat these days.
