How does the media affect people?

If it's a question of how much effect, the answer depends on what topic. In politics, the newspapers who manifested themselves online have very little effect. Look at Manilatimes. Well written articles, but getting very low readership. People see their intentions clearly, advertising Bong Go and too pro-government. They've managed to annoy most readers, now nobody's reading them. Everyday their content is about Bong Go and the Dutertes.

ABS CBN is obviously yellow. Everyday they have a Leni Robredo article.

How does the media affect people? Minimal. It's Google AI we should be keeping our eyes on. 🙂 

 

Manila Times articles are indeed well written. Low readership? I doubt it. It depends on which target audience you're referring to. I read the digital on-line version of Manila Times. I would expect the international readers would, too.

It is very obvious who receives money. Masyado na kasi paulit ulit ang pang buildup sa isang politico at panay naman bash sa kalaban.

They can control what news to tell us. So they can affect certain things and situations, like this coming elections.

[Gtayo11]

Well obviously there can be bias in reporting. Check how fox v. Cnn can report same story in different ways

However, any high level news channel still has a fact that they put context too. So up to us to see the fact for what it is and discern for ourselves. Yung mahirap pag yung mga random jologs na videos or posts na wala naman sources. I'll take the former anyday

If you have cable TV, you can get different versions of the news from different angles. China news agencies present the same event from the point of view of the Chinese Pulitburo. CNN present it from the American liberal POV, Fox present it from conservative POV. European news agencies like BBC, France 24, Deutch Wells (Germany), TASS (Russia) present the same events differently based on their own government's perspectives.
So to get a balanced view, try to get the news from multiple sources.

Nabiktima na kapamilya namin ng paninira. May nainggit na kompetensiya niya, nag bayad sa media para siraan siya. Ginawan mga articles na kumalat sa mga clients niya. Kaya di ako maniniwala na di kayang bayaran at i manipulate ang balita.

The Social Media is a great equalizer especially here in the Philippines which has the highest viewership in social media.

The oligarchs have been in control of the major mainstream media in the Philippines. Mainstream media like ABS-CBN and Inquirer, have been used to shape the opinion of the public against political personalities who dare go against the interests of oligarchs.

Mainstream media influence is not that effective anymore. Social media provides an alternative forum to counter the oligarch-controlled mainstream media.

Mainstream Media has brainwashed so many people over the years.

agree mga boss...ipagdasal ang pilipinas... at tayo namn na GM ay paligayahin ang mga theras dito   tulungan ika nag, bayanihan...ung kanta nga ng scorpions:

I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we get it right
Cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one
I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we stop the fight
Cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one
Sometimes I think I'm going mad
We're loosing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesn't change
We've got to rearrange and bring our world some love
And does it really matter
If there's a heaven up above
We sure could use some love
Cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one
Cause we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why can't we live as one

Media manipulates the news. Controlling the mindset of the people. Can be biased, showing only one side of the coin.

[Major Tom]

The media encourages people to relinquish freedom of thought and become part of the vast unthinking collective. The media serves those in power like the church, the state, and big business by keeping the citizenry afraid, poor, and stupid.
