I remember the days when TV would go off after the late late late show, play the national anthem and then Snow. Back on at 6am.
Now, the media has so much influence over popular culture & people lives that they influence policy.
Example 1 - Kim Kardashian made a sex tape, hung out with Paris Hilton and because of the Media created a multi-million dollar empire with virtually no talent. Oh by the way, she is probably worth over $30million.
Example 2 - When American Idol holds there auditions they can have at least 10,000 people waiting sometime days, so they can become "famous".
Example 3 - Snooki's pregnancy was on the cover of US magazine and baby pictures from celebrities can command hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Example 4 - Creating a social media website just to say "Hi" can make you a billionaire.
I can go on & on. But I believe there will be a time where the media will be more powerful than the people.
A Hollywood actor can easily make $5 million a film.
Basketball players sign $20million contracts.
A school teacher makes about $35k a year.
Police officer $45k a year
EMT - $30k a year
21 years ago CNN was the first to successfully broadcast the first gulf war live. 12 years ago we had Big Brother & Survivor. I wonder what's going to happen in the next 20 years?
