Wallace Steven argues that the media is a profit motivated machine that disrupts and hinders the creation of art by perpetuating the same products to the already conditioned consumer. Further more, the public is not able to contribute the said entertainment machine.

Recently, with the advent of social networking websites other similar sites Stevens argument seems to fall short. Facebook allows a users to post pictures, artwork and using whatever apps they have, pretty much anything. Youtube is another prime example of the public contributing art. I have seen quite a number of videos on youtube and there is a wide range of media to be seen. Now more than ever the public is in control of the entertainment media that we ourselves enjoy.
