How bad is the media being used to manipulate you? Really bad, that's how bad.
Here is a couple of examples that are just mind blowing.
First, what is astroturf? Watch this Ted Talk. It is illuminating.

Now, remember the hype about how everyone should be taking Statins? Statins are the cholesterol lowering drugs that I have told you are bad for you for years, showing you study after study. But there is this organized campaign to make them universal. Crazy talk. Astroturf!
Check out this article just published:

They don't prevent heart disease, they cause it!
Now watch; consider all the recent hysteria about measles. A few cases, no one seriously ill, what used to be a normal part of childhood. All this media frenzy has the hallmark of astroturf.
Now you know how someone, with something to sell you is trying to influence you.
If it sounds like hype, walks like hype... it is hype. Crazy world.
