“It’s not us, it’s the media.”

Ted Koppel never took anything from me. Do you think I’ve got three guns in my house because the media’s outside my door trying to bust in?

“Oh shit. It’s Mike Wallace. Run!”"

Take a really small case. Since I was in school, girls have been walking around with those shorts and pants with the writing across their asses. Now, the explicit messages on their asses are many: “princess,” “angel,” “flirt,” school names, team names, etc… But the implicit message is invariable: my ass is to be looked at. And that from an age at which many girls don’t even know the meaning of the word “ass.”

Anyway, to answer your question, I’d say that they’re attempting (unsuccessfully) to communicate who they are through the language (sex, clothing, ideology, etc…) that society has taught them.

Well, Susan, there you go. You can now stop trying to influence the girls directly and start trying to influence CBS.

It’s the media.
