The media does not control our behavior but it can control what you know and that can influence your behavior and how you think. It can do this if you get lazy and get all your news, info, and impressions of the world from a few similar sources. But then, if you do that, it's not the media controlling you. It's you surrendering control of your own thought processes. With a fair amount of judgment, intelligence, and curiosity, anyone can become totally immune to any media bias or "control." All you have to do is question, think, verify stories you consider suspicious, and read read read widely. Many magazines, many books, many sources other than TV. And as to those commercials that probably control your behavior more than any news, turn 'em off. Be a citizen, not a consumer.
