"Los medios son la entidad más poderosa del mundo. Tienen el poder de hacer culpable al inocente y de hacer inocente al culpable, y eso es poder. Porque controlan las mentes de las masas."
— Malcolm X

Simplified Meaning:
The media holds great influence because it shapes how people think and believe. They can change the story, making an innocent person seem guilty or a guilty person appear innocent. This power comes from their ability to control what information people see and hear. For example, if news outlets continuously show only one side of a story, people might believe that version without questioning it. This manipulation can affect public opinion, voting, or social issues. Understanding this influence helps people to seek out multiple sources of information and think critically about what they see in the news.
