Instead of just presenting information, many in the media -- by choice of words in stories, titles on headlines--- attempt to manipulate the voting public's feelings about a particular issue, political candidate, or party. When this happens power is taken away from the people and seized by elites. The health of a democracy is endangered. Propaganda is used for power. A free and fair discussion of principles and ideas is shut down. Perception of reality is skewed.
