Among others, Sam Stein from the Huffing Post has pointed out that Fox News Channel has now twice been found mislabeling Republican politicians as Democrats durring a national election. The more recent example coming from their coverage of SC Governor Mark Sanford's trysts. The final lines of Stien's short post reads: "There is, of course, a small danger to these quick journalistic missteps. They get repeated. Look, for instance at this Google News finding for 'Mark Foley, D-Florida.'"
Though it may seem anti-intuitive at first I have a sense that our current networked communication technologies are able to isolate individuals and perhaps groups of people from good information.
A market saturated with a pervasive Cultural Media - that can be targeted to individuals - can be tailored to mislead specific individuals and thus exert cultural influence.
