There have been A LOT of articles like this on A LOT of different websites lately. If Joe Consumer reads this often enough, he will believe it. Even if it's not reality now, these articles have the potential to create that reality. |
But "Joe Consumer" does not read these websites.
The vast majority of the people who are reading this informaiton (and misinformation) are those who have their minds already made up.
For example, Fox News is (a) the most watched cable news network in the United States and (b) perceived to have a bias toward the conservative end of the political spectrum. Everyone points out its influence but if its viewership is only 2.5M people per night, that means 304M ARE NOT WATCHING.
Now I know that some of those not watching are children and I know that you can say that those who consume TV cable news are more likely to be decision-makers. But the 2006 and 2008 American elections would make a falacy of that statement.
In other words, people make decisions based upon their wants/needs and perceived wants/needs. And if they want a Wii, they will buy a Wii -- Yahoo UK be damned.
