Ideas for essay 3

The problem I am most inclined to base my essay upon is the controlled media. I think that the way the media sits at this point is a tragedy. We live in a time where information should be availible from a variety of different viewpoints and sources. However the news is very controlled to only a few set viewpoints and they get to decide what they want to broadcast. The same goes with the radio. There is a substantial amount of talented groups and musicains who stay out of the eye of the public because the radio stations want to play the same songs over and over! Why this injustice? I simply cannot wrap my brain around it. The media also decides what influence they want to initiate on the youth of society. Mtv has shows that a simply put sleasly and ridicolous. They promote drug use and sex and hardly touch on any real important topics. This is turning people into drones. I am sorry maybe I am a bit too harsh but it's the sad truth.
