but in the end, the Corporate media "influences" the voting masses to vote the way the Corporate media would like them to vote....

The Corporate media does this by showcasing and highlighting what they want to for each candidate.

Example....If they think that an Edwards would be the easiest to defeat in the GE, and they have decided that a Republican is who they want...they will promote Edwards during the primaries (never talk about his co-sponsorship of the IWR, never highlight that it took three years for Edwards to decide to say "sorry" on his vote, always make him the fighter for the "lil' man" no matter if he doesn't say much anything different from other Democrats, always show lotsa pics of him without him talking, and never, never highlight the fact that he really didn't bring Kerry any more votes by being on the ticket in '04). If they are successful, and they get Edwards as the primary candidate, they will (if that is what is decided) to turn on him during the GE...mentioning all that they didn't mention during the primary....including his lack of experience on National Defense...and lo and behold....comes October 31, a Bin Laden tape...and Edwards as the Democratic Candidate loses.

It's really pretty simple for the media to run the show. Afterall more uninformed Corporate News watchers vote than informed political activists. :shrug:
