Thinking:
people who do not understand the language the law is written in (e.g an immigrant) or nonresidents bolster the power of the media, because the media is more necessary to them as a source of information.
similar phenomenon when the voter guide receives multiple translation but the actual laws implemented do not. (a type of "information blindspot")

more thinking: how can democracy coexist with mass media without descending to mediacracy? 1. the media can not have a monopoly on political discourse 2. the media is largely for entertainment not information and is not taken seriously 3. the media is extremely not credible (probably reiteration of 2)
