Raging Bull and Crazy Elitists - the Freedom of Information Act, Lippman, Chomsky?

My prompt is: How does media play a role in controlling the average American mindset?

Throughout history, the elitists have eliminated the general public from the truth. They use six major corporations to filter out what information gets passed to the general public, through Comcast, CBS, Walt Disney, Viacom, Time Warner and News Corporation. However, when government papers get leaked out, such as the Pentagon Papers in 1971 by the New York Times and Washington Post, the raging bull goes on a rampage and damages everything in its sight. The government tried to prohibit the New York Times and the Washington Post from publishing portions of a secret government study on the Vietnam War since the Pentagon Papers will prolong the Vietnam War and hinder efforts to return U.S. prisoners held in Vietnam.

That is about it of what I have so far. Should I include the Freedom of Information Act (1967), Walter Lippmann , and Noah Chomsky?

Thank you!

I think it's a pretty good introduction.
But remember to answer your prompt :"HOW" does media play a role in controlling the average American mindset?
Too much information in your introduction will be tangential to your main point.
