- According to David Paletz and Robert Entman, the "general impact of
- the mass media is to socialize people into accepting the legitimacy of
- their country's political system; ... lead them to acquiesce in America's
- prevailing social values; ... direct their opinions in ways which do
- not undermine and often support the domestic and foreign objectives of
- elites; ... and deter them from active, meaningful participation in
- politics -- rendering them quiescent before the powerful."
