History
Media has been noted as having a very significant influence within politics since the 18th century, as noted by the concept of the Fourth Estate of which coining is attributed to the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination writer and politician Edmund Burke (although others have been attributed the title). This term showed the press as being a threat to the traditional power structure of Europe, which was made up of three estates.
The concept was later expanded upon in the 19th century, with the example being the Irish poet Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Oscar Wilde who wrote in his essay "The Soul of Man Under Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Socialism" the following:
In old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press. That is an improvement certainly. But still it is very bad, and wrong, and demoralizing. Somebody — was it Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Burke? — called journalism the fourth estate. That was true at the time no doubt. But at the present moment it is the only estate. It has eaten up the other three. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination The Lords Temporal say nothing, the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination The Lords Spiritual have nothing to say, and the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination House of Commons has nothing to say and says it. We are dominated by Journalism.
With the introduction of the radio, television and later the internet in the 20th century the concept of media rule was later expanded upon. Including writers such as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination conservative Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination political pundit Kevin P. Philips (who coined the term "Mediacracy"), Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Noam Chomsky, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Right-Libertarian author Fabian Tassano (who argued that dumbing down of mass media is an effect that ultimately leads to a society of faux-egalitarianism) and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination neoreactionary blogger Mencius Moldbug (Who argued that the media (along with universities) ultimately have the power to decide the intellectual hegemony of entire countries a power previously afforded to religious institutions).
