The answers to your questions lilwendy are in the media and in the hands of those who are.

I will put some excerpts from an article by Noam Chomsky which makes it a good analysis of the media.

The role of the media in contemporary politics compels us to ask about the kind of world and society in which we want to live and what model of democracy we want for this society. Let me start confronting two other than democracy concepts. One is that leads us to say that in a democratic society, on the one hand, people have at their disposal resources to participate significantly in the management of their private affairs, and other media are free and fair. If searching for the word democracy in the dictionary is a quite similar to what I have just formulated definition.

The spectator democracy

There is a moral principle altogether convincing: people are just too stupid to understand things. If individuals try to participate in the management of issues that affect them or interest, all that would do it just to cause trouble, so it would be improper and immoral to allow to do so. We must tame the baffled flock, and not let him brame and pisotee and destroying things, which comes to enclose the same logic which says that it would be wrong to let a three-year-old child crossed the street only. We do not give to children three years this kind of freedom because we start from the basis that it does not know how to use the. Thus, is given no easily baffled flock individuals participate in the action; only cause problems.

For this reason, we need something to tame the perplexed; flock something which is the new revolution in the art of democracy: the manufacture of consensus. The media, schools, and popular culture should be divided. The political class and the decision-makers have to provide some tolerable reality, sense but also have to instill the appropriate views. Here the premise not declared explicitly - and even responsible men have to realize this alone - has to with the question of how is arriving to obtain the authority to make decisions. Of course, how to get it is serving people who have real power, which is none other than the owners of the society, a relatively small group. If the specialized class members can come and say: I serve their interests, then become part of the Executive Group. And we must be silent and porting, meaning that they have to be to penetrate the beliefs and doctrines that will serve the interests of the owners of the society, so that, unless may exercise with master this self-training will not form part of the specialized class. So, we have an education system, private, responsible men approached the specialized class, which must be adoctrinados in depth about the values and interests of Royal power, and that it maintains with the State and that this represents corporate link character. If you can achieve this, may spend part of the specialized class. The rest of the herd baffled basically there to distract him and then turn their attention to anything else. That no one get into trouble. Make sure that are all based on action, spectators releasing their load from time to time in some other leader among those who have at their disposal to choose.

Manufacture of opinion

The baffled herd just never be duly domesticated: is a permanent battle. In the 1930s emerged again, but could suppress the movement. In the 1960s he appeared a new wave of dissent, which the specialized class named you crisis of democracy. It was considered that democracy was entering into a crisis because large segments of the population were organizing actively and were trying to participate in the political . The set of elite agreed that crush the democratic revival of the 1960s and to implement a social system in which resources channeled to the affluent classes privileged. And here we return to the two conceptions of democracy that we have mentioned above. According to the dictionary definition, it is a step forward in democracy; as the predominant approach is a problem, a crisis which must be defeated. Had to force the population to retrocediera and further apathy, obedience and the passivity of its natural state, which made great efforts, but it didn't work. Fortunately, the crisis of democracy is still alive, although it was not very effective for political change. But contrary to what many people believe, it can give results regarding the change of public opinion.
