Television:

Television was immediately recognized as a potential tool for social control. It is a one way feed of information from a point source with little accountability. To a wide spectrum of social groups. It was immediately regulated to establish licenses and other barriers of entry to prevent democracy from taking hold in this fledgling media. There were all kinds of constraints to starting a TV station. One were the requirement of licenses had to be paid for and Television was made expensive enough that one could not start a station for non-commercial purposes. Thus begin the downward spiral of TV intertwined with big business. Commercial TV was first viewed with skepticism. Some believed Advertising did't work. We all learned that it has become hugely influential. With television it is easy to create false realities and that is the core of it power. One could create a false sense of social climates e.g Only positive footage of an event is shown giving the viewer a false sense of reality. Stereotyping a group then displaying a model of ideal behavior. e.g. showing punk rockers acting a certain way giving the impression that this is how punk rockers act. This gives the control of perception to a narrow group of those who control mass media. Television is to many, a flash frame of what popular opinion is at a particular instant. It has become difficult to tell if society is reflected by television, or if society is created by television. Mass media and society have become so incestuous as to defy possible direct causation. Whether this is intentional or incidental is also ambiguous
