"We, internet users and TV viewers, chose to watch the content that runs through advertisements, talk shows, and pop-up windows (as just a few examples). This makes our selves vulnerable to potentially biased and manipulative content. This isn’t to say that all content is this way, but that it’s inherent when one expresses a subjective point-of-view and presents that view as objective. We saw this especially during the most recent US election, where CNN and FOX were expressing opposing viewpoints yet presenting both views to be true without the viewer ever really being able to distinguish fact from fiction within either network. This is just one example of the many."
