My problem with the media is that like someone said, it's business men. I won't have one single person like that representing my freedom of thought and opinion. Alot of these Icons are created by media, they did the same thing back in your days too though for crying out loud.

You think elvis made it so big because he had a nice voice? or because he was swinging his hips on a tv show one night.

Media will always be a dominant force in the young generation, and it always has been. They only reason people freak out at the current media is because people are generally more free to state their opinions. Fact.

But to the point, i don't really thing todays youth is fickle, i think that todays fickle youth just gain the attention, while the ones trying to make a difference are submerged by reports like *britains youth are fat* "American youths no good at school". If you are called a moron for long enough... You will eventually become one.
