Simplified Meaning:

In many countries, people are free to think and believe what they want, but in the United States, the media has a strong influence on shaping people’s beliefs and opinions. The media, such as television, newspapers, and internet, can often push a particular way of thinking onto people, making it harder for them to have their own independent ideas. For example, during election times, news channels might heavily support one political party, constantly showing positive stories about them and negative stories about the opposing party. This can lead to many people believing things without questioning them deeply because that’s what they are seeing and hearing all the time. To apply this understanding, we can try to get our news from different sources and think critically about what we hear, instead of accepting it at face value. This helps us make more informed decisions and not be easily influenced by one-sided information.
