the masses. The media significantly impact people, and the information they consume is not
necessarily objective. A lot of it is very biased. For example, mass corporations such as Disney
own the vast majority of media we consume today, and they spread political agendas through
their products. They are becoming a monopoly and controlling many of what people see today.
