The Mainstream Media SuperPower and The Elections

Ok so Barack Obama is a great public speaker and has potential.

But how influential was what I call the mainstream media powerhouse in selling his ideas, his persona, his "rockstar status", the fact that his inexperience doesn't matter subject?

Is this who's going to influence the american voter in the future? Will it happening or has it happened in other countries?

Can someone who courts the media and was created by the media be also destroyed by them? Is this a serious threat top our democracy? Do you really care at all?
