1. Blue Monday is the most depressing day of the year, calculated by Dr. Cliff Arnall, a researcher at the University of Cardiff's Center for Lifelong Learning.
Factors used to calculate the date included weather conditions, debt level, time since Christmas, time since failing our New Year's resolutions, low motivation and feeling the need to take action.

In 2005 the date was calculated as January 24th, in 2006 it was January 23rd, and in 2007 it was January 22nd.

Where the media controls the news via print and television, restricting what people have access to therefore controlling public opinion, what you dont know might just hurt you!
or,

Also extends into the movie making business which is controlled by small groups over many generations.

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.'

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 the use of omission, exaggeration or repetition to make a 'news' story something it is not.

Often used to promote a particular ideology or fashionable concept.
