Recent research has shown that media like the Internet and TV have a greater influence over people's lives than politicians. Which do you consider to be the greater influence?

Various studies have shown that

television

and the

Internet

put more impact on

people

's lives than

politicians

. In my opinion, those who have power are indeed losing their authority over citizens' minds due to

Internet

and

television

dominating

people

's minds. There are two primary reasons behind

politicians

having a less significant position in society: lack of commitment to the public welfare and selfish interest.

Firstly

, it is not easy to find

politicians

like Nelson Mandela these days who commit their life to the betterment of

people

and society. Most of the

politicians

are indulged in blame game by constantly opposing the party in opposition.

This

kind of behaviour has changed citizenry's perception

towards

political leaders who continuously delude the public in the name of serving them.

Secondly

, most political leaders use government resources for their own benefit and are frequently in the limelight for their fraudulent activities. In India,

For example

, Lalu Prasad Yadav, a leader of UPA party, was involved in fodder scam, taking away almost Rs 5000 crores of public money.

Therefore

, today's

politicians

are mostly touted as goons who lack credibility and worthiness to win

people

's confidence. What about the

Internet

and

Television

? Are these mediums actually having more influence or just pretending to be more impactful by putting

politicians

' image down in front of viewers? The answer is simple; media shows the truth no matter how brutal it is.

Moreover

, the public is acutely aware and well-educated, so they cannot be tricked in today's world.

In addition

to

this

, the

Internet

and

television

are those powerful mediums which provide

people

with a platform to raise voice against wrong, without having to go on roads and fight for their rights.

Therefore

, masses tend to believe more in what is shown on media and

television

,

thus

winning the public's trust by having better influence. From the above arguments, it is clear that ordinary

people

no longer put their faith in

politicians

due to their habit of overpromising and under-delivering. Without any argument, the

Internet

and

television

have been able to sell themselves more powerfully and have more influence than political leaders.
