Growlithing, you talk about media so much that I wonder why you are on the consumer side of media? You are supposed to be training towards being on the producer side, no?

Personally, I do not understand the increasingly frequent complaints about media at all, because media is not mandatory. Nobody forces consumers of media to be consumers of media. When I go get pedicures, I take a laptop and write on it while sitting in the massage chair - I do not read women's magazines. Media is the way it is because consumers buy it. Stop buying it (in any form) and you will free yourself from its influence. Very simple and straightforward.
