Do you think some critical media theorists see the media as an essential tool employed by the corporate elite to constrain how people view their social world?

The media portrays everything in a negative way just watch the news anyday of the week. They stroke controversy and issues between two people. Fear is a powerful motivator for a lot of people. The media and advertisers use it to sell products all the time. Media distorts a lot of what people think of their social world.
