paying a media comglomerate to selectively report information in order to turn the customer into a bigot.

A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

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,
the less you know the more you believe.

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.
