Our interpretation:
#MediaTheorised has some interesting and easily digestible short documentaries and interpretations on the structure and workings of the media. Worth a look, as the news is easily manipulated these days. And knowing that the media are often paid by the same conglomerates that they ought to be investigating, there is a definite and untenable conflict of interest. Watch out how you consume your media.
