They have massive influence bro. Especially given that in certain countries media and viewers have become very partisan in what they present/watch.I used to think that the governments were more powerful and control the media, honestly, recently I'm thinking it's the other way around.
If I were a super villain, I wouldn't want to be a leader of a country or even the UN, I would want to be a media giant.
There's a reason Goebbels heavily invested in propaganda. IT WORKS!!!
There's a reason, in Turkey, erdogan gave a left wing media channel the biggest media fine (to put them out of business). Erdogan regularly closes Facebook and Twitter in Turkey when things are testing against him.
Controlling what the public know is a whole bunch of power.
