#9 Media is taking over

Wanna know what to think? What to worry about? How to feel about it? Of course you do and if you're a sheep all those answers await you in the media. Now don't get me wrong I'm not a crazy conspiracy theory guy, but if you can't tell the media is trying to distract you from the things that matter you aren't paying much attention. The power of media lies in that alone, the ability to distract the masses and I'm not actually talking strictly about the news media. For example, Facebook tells you whats trending and the radio tells you what songs are hot now. 

If you haven't seen these things yet, simply look around you as you walk around daily. Everyones eyes are trapped in their phones, your friends posts are all predictable, the news you watch doesn't tell you anything you really need to know about. 

With my attention drawn to the power of media more and more through my college classes I haven't seen first hand everything I have previously claimed. It is easy to see once you look for it, so please do me and yourself a favor and start looking round at whats going on and stop believing everything you are told.
