Yes, reportage does impact on our perceptions, but how much? Hasn't rock 
music changed the world much more? From the same era music we had 
changes is clothing, language, and mores that continue to this day and 
have been built on. We receive news through de facto authorized sources 
that are fed to us without our becoming a part of the apparatus. Aren't 
we much more changed by the things we are a part of? The dances we 
danced, the music we listened to, the people he loved or hated. The 
things we helped create have a profound effect on us. Much more so than 
the things that are fed us.
