4. "Orwell rolls in his grave argues the media has too much power on public perception and is almost anti-democratic. Agree/Disagree? Examples?

After viewing “Orwell rolls in his grave,” it can almost be said without much doubt that the media has its hand in what is allowed to be shown to the public eye. Media conglomerates control news programs, magazines, websites, TV stations, radio, and products manufactured for sale at a regular store. As revealed in the move, media conglomerates pay off candidates that they support, defining who deserves (in their opinion) be in running for a position. From behind the scenes (caught on tape by the “imaginative” Michael Moore), media conglomerates are running the country. Promoting who they see fit, covering up problems for themselves and their selected candidates, exposing their enemies’ flaws and problems, and overall, steering the American people in a direction unbeknownst to them. Providing the populace with limited choices that are available because of the current social conditions, Americans believe they are doing what they think is best for themselves out of the given situation, an illusion painted by the big corporations. Tricking people into thinking that they are thinking for themselves saves effort wasted on convincing informed people who understand what is going on to trade sides. “Big Brother” might as well be renamed “Biggie-Size Brother” since the little Wendy’s company has got its grease-fried hands mixed up in government and therefore, peoples’ lives besides their diets. “Would you like a tax break with that?”
