You have to understand the separation between what exists in the print media and what exists in reality. It's important to never lose track of reality.

The media is a like any other group of people. Their universe is all that matters.

The media lies to us all the time, and we always believe the media.

But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.

Maybe entertainment is not supposed to be reality.

What you don't get in the mainstream media is so much of the background material.

In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.'

'Reality' is a notion that journalists take for granted.

We're in a kind of vicious cycle where the media tell the politicians, and the politicians tell the people, that perception is reality, and the perception of saving dooms a politician. I don't believe perception is reality, or that all Americans think that.
