Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Our media has long gone past pure information supply to the public and observing and reporting situations these days it's about forming opinions in the reader and where possible manipulating events for whatever agenda. I've been surprised at some of the reasons I've heard for why people voted the way they did in the referendum on both sides of the issue such shallow stupid reasons that begger belief. People these days are either too busy or too lazy to actually research things for themselves they are happy to have a newspaper or tv channel tell them it's so much quicker and easier then doing it yourself.

It's got me thinking how if things keep going the way they are sometime in the next couple of decades we may end up with an electorate barely able to vote in any intelligent way and may as well just have the media owners voting.
