They say that ‘you are what you eat.’ Perhaps the 21st Century interpretation of that age-old folklore should refer to our consumption of persuasive media texts, rather than that of the literal understanding regarding foodstuffs. The relevance ties back to a recent observation of mine, of which I have no better way to explain than with blunt forthrightness; we have become a product of the media that engulfs us. It is not by chance, but by choice of influential media corporations that we, as a people, are clothed as we are with the conviction of a naïve and somewhat brainwashed, media-run nation.
