Yes it can. Many people only know what they see on TV or the Internet and don't investigate the issues on their own. A great deal of "information " that is presented is not right, or is opinion. Some is just gossip taken as fact and these things can influence an election if enough people believe it. A perfect example of media influence on an election is Trump. He has used the media in a very effective way and it has helped him to get to where he is today.
Much of the American public forms their opinion on politics and daily events based solely or mainly on the views of the media, so whatever the media reports is what Americans believe. In relation to politics, the media effects them by reporting (or not reporting) what they want the public to know, or they report events in a way that will bring about specific results.
In the US and certainly among many other nations, the news media has a strong influence on policy makers and the citizens can be influenced by the media as well. When the citizens views, measured either by elections or opinion polls is made clear, it will effect policy makers. The media can influence both the government and the public as well. The fact is that in modern nations, there are so many issues at stake, what is or what is not important is often lost in the numerous events and issues all going on at the same time.
The media spreads false information. Facts have become irrelevant and a lot of American's have proven to be ignorant and vote against their own best interest.
Media
Propaganda can be seen in various forms in media, advertising, political campaigns, and social media to sway public opinion or promote a particular agenda. It is often used in times of war, elections, or to influence public perception on certain issues.
The most important type of media used during elections is the Internet and television. Television and the Internet appeal right to the voters, so these media types have an more profound effect. Also television and media have an visual appeal that radio, and newspaper may not have.
