    I mean if you have a 12 year-olds understanding of "media" as simply "current events".

    Read a little McLuhan or Baudrillard and get back to me.

        How were you informed to take a tenner on Trump? Did you magically infer that bet in a vacuum or was it materialized through your romps through the cultural zeitgeist?

            Sounds like you analyzed media and took a gamble. If the odds were 2:1, 50:1, or 12000:1, you would have made assumptions to inform your betting decision.

            How is this rocket science?

              as comrade Cuttlefish pointed out:

              Comrade, media analysis is like, discussing how Star Wars views revolution or something like that. It’s studying and interpreting media.
