The unconscious influence of the Media

Media has a great influence on the society. Not only a great influence, it is actually "controlling" our mind in an unconscious way. Especially in the show business, the public always get influenced by the movies stars. The public always want to know more about them, and even got influenced the way how we thought towards a specific incident.

After I read the article about the interview with the American famous movie star Ellen Degeneres, I realized the whole interview is about
her personal details instead of some perspective towards anything relative to her career.

The questions in the interview are trying to discover Ellen's own
interest and privacy. It has no relationship to the public, but the public
wants to read it and know about Ellen. In this case, the public is sometimes influenced by the famous stars' words unconsciously. For example, we always believe in something which said by the famous stars, we never tried to think if its real. And the public just read the newspaper and believe all the contents without judging it. As a result, th public's mind is 'controlled' by the media unconsciously. The influence of the media can be great and affect our daily life and how we think.
