Interesting that you mentioned communications clases at school as I had some silimar experiences. I took a Mass Effects theory class as well. The text book (and you know how college text books writers offer up their political and cultural views as academic fact) presented Marxist theory as the only academic truth. Fortunately I had a foriegn prof who had little understanding or regard for political correctness. So I wrote my term paper on Media Bias and Attitude Change Propaganda Theory. When I was done giving my presentation most of the class was convinced that the antique media has a leftist bias and has a narrative that they want to tell. They do this by presenting very few facts and half-truths and presenting them in such a way to create an attitude in the reader that promotes the narrative that the propagandist wants to convey.
