I was just wondering how many people are influenced strongly by the media and if their opinions come straight from the media. Or do you ignore much of the media and try to think of your own opnions?

The media gets me info, I decide based on the info I receive.

If you're the Home Secretary, quite a lot.

I try to get my info from the Beeb, since it's nonpartisan and as near as unbiased as you can possibly get - and generally avoid newspapers like the plague. Especially the Daily Heil.

I don't watch opinion media, nor do I read op/ed articles. I look at the facts presented and rationalize from there.

The Medai are a branch of the Illuminati and one of the lost tribes of Israel.

Hehe and I read the Sun, for it's *cough* informed and unbiased reporting.

Hahhah okay no I take the Sun for page 3 and Hagar! The rest I get from the TV, which as we all know never lies.

Naaaa okay I watch all sorts of news programs, and then make my mind up what if anything I choose to believ based primarly on what I know about the subject at hand.

I think you're wrong on the illuminati bit. I checked the rolls twice, and we don't have any branch called the "Medai."
