I think they are much more dependent on their jewtubes and facebergs and twatters and leddits (for newer generations; replace with cnn/nyt/fox for the older), since we were talking about opinion formation. they may or may not be dependent on the gov too, but that would be on different matters (e.g. economical). in the whole West there's probably not one gov that has as much power as, e.g., twatter to shape sheeple's opinions
