The media can corrupt the minds of young people by presenting topics in a biased way. Some advertising appeals to the material desires of young people (and adults), and shapes a certain kind of value system based on materialism, and an artificial, unhealthy concept of attractiveness and well-being. Many programs produced for young people are designed to grab the audience's attention in order to keep them coming back, and influence them to keep buying the sponsor's products. So young people might think that they are seeing a glimpse of the real world on television, and shape their ideas of the world accordingly, when in reality what they are seeing is designed to keep them on the consumerism/materialist treadmill.

The media can influence young minds through stereotypical portrayals, unrealistic beauty standards, and promoting consumerism. Exposure to harmful messages can impact self-esteem, body image, and values, shaping how young people view themselves and the world around them. It’s important for parents and educators to help young people develop critical thinking skills to navigate and understand media messages effectively.

How did media wrongly effect Nixon's presidency?

As far as I can see, they didn't. Nixon was more corrupt than the media told us--I guess they figured you couldn't handle the truth. If you want a presidency that was wrongly effected by the media, look to Ronald Reagan. Reagan's administration, as judged by the number of people in it who were indicted, was THE most corrupt administration to date with something like 175 indicted members. The media put a halo on Reagan because he was publicly a nice man who made Americans feel good. If the media was doing its job, Reagan would have lasted about a year.
