popular news channels in the world image

Can it influence us for good or for negative infatuation? Where is the line between unhealthy consumption and a healthy dose of entertainment?
I see some television as being a way to manipulate or stupify society. For example, mainstream news media could do this easily. Another example is most television out there. Consider for example tv channels that are supposed to be "educational" such as the discovery channel. They have been littered with reality shows and things that don't matter or at the very least lack any kind of high quality in them.
What about popular movies and TV shows? Think about The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, etc. Most of us would consider these to be high quality and adventurous. However, what makes these different from most television? How does one differentiate the bad from the good? Is too much of this bad?
Books are another example of fiction and the same questions apply here.
Also, to help authors create better works; how do you think these kinds of fiction can be used to entertain, influence, or inspire society?
Answer
Fiction has a great influence on the world. As humans love to fantasise about their most ideal situation, on example is religion and the notion of an afterlife. As it brings people hope, affects people's thoughts but can also be dangerous by causing wars etc.. Without fiction our lives would be pretty dull.

Why do they act like CNN is so popular?

I just found out that fox has the highest rating of news channels and that MSNBC is second and CNN is third. Why is it then that everyone always uses CNN as the example? I've always seen CNN playing in restaurants, airports, etc., not Fox. Why is that? If more people watch fox then shouldn't Fox be played? I mean if I owned a restaurant, I would put on the channels that most people watch, right? It just makes sense.
