Calling bullshit. The media is less important than ever given the vast amount of alternative news sources available on the internet. The reason we have a two party system is that your average person either picks a side like it's a baseball team and votes all R/all D, or they vote against the guy they hate more instead of voting for the guy they like (remember cody busting my balls for not voting for romney, how I might as well be voting for obama, etc etc)

the internet is now the media too

the internet is now the media too

It's always been a form of media, but it's not monolithic like the network news. any fucking idiot can start a blog or a youtube page and convince thousands of people to follow his every word, just look at alex jones before the internet he would have been handing out xeroxed newsletters in front of the supermarket
