I think when the media wields the power it does, any knowingly-made distortion of the truth, especially when it concerns someones public reputation, should be cause for legal action.

I really liked that reply. I think you summed it up pretty well – either we decide our influences or they will be decided for us. I think similar ideas can be related to culture -either we decide what is desirable for our culture or we let it fall to the advertising companies and others of the like.
