Get the manipulationship mug.The practice of claiming that one or more media outlets lean to the left or right of politics in an underhanded effort to sell advertising for large corporate conglomerates. Often accompanied by the overt insinuation that 'normal' people are stupid and can't recognize any bias in any way or make their own decisions about the 'news.'
I sure wish I could tell if NPR or Fox news was biased or practiced media manipulation, but being such a dumb average American, they probobly know best. I'll let them tell me what to think.

"Clara was manipulating the clay into the shape of a bowl"
"Max was manipulating the others into believing that his ex was a bitch, despite the fact that she had done nothing wrong, as a means of gaining power and control over his friends because he was insecure about himself"
"He was manipulating his 'girlfriend' into falling for him and feeling sympathy for him, when actually he didn't care about her or her feelings and was merely playing her for a fool; he wanted to get away with crashing at her place without paying the rent and leach her cash off of her because he couldn't be fucked to take responsibility for himself."
Ellie: "How has she not seen that he's manipulating her into giving him money and a place to stay! Jesus"
Fiona: "I know, he did the exact same thing to me, except he just fucked me over and decided it would be a good idea to cheat on me with her once I found out. It's a good thing I did find out really."
Ellie: "Yeah I heard he has a reputation for targeting girls who like him....."

Get the manipulation mug.The act of fragmenting a unified community into factions, each faction declaring the other is *liberal* or *conservative* which are, in and of themselves, meaningless buzzwords (though have not allways been so) created and distributed by the media itself.
While Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reily or any other "Right of Center" talk show host can claim that the media is biased towards the left, it takes nothing more than the power of observation to realize that AM talk radio, fox news, or any other news outselt making said claims is itself a part of the media.
The same can, of course, be said for the other side, the likes of Michael Moore, and Al Frankin.

Media Manipulation is extrememly evident among the other definitions for Media Manipulation. Especially since the *Media* encompases everyone from the ELF's newsletter to Neo-Nazi magazines.
Most people fail to realize you are only manupulated as much as you let yourself be.

Get the media manipulation mug.Something that MTV and MSNBC both employ in order to brainwash and control their audience, both of these organizations of which spew liberal propaganda 24/7, with that same propaganda and hate speech being followed by those same manipulated viewers. Basically psychological control over those who are weak-minded.
