I think the discussion was quite good on media and the culture as a whole. The interpretation of communication is vital to either making someone laugh really hard or making someone very angry. This is one of the root things that drives the media industry. It manipulates people to give them a feeling that they want. Sometimes it can back fire on them or sometimes they could get it to work. Straddling the fence on certain issues will invoke a high risk and reward scenarios. Finding middle ground on these issues, that can satisfy many different types of ethnicity, is crucial for the the media to be liked.
