Is media decreasing superstition from society?

Question

is media able to decrease superstition from society?

Answer 1

They often discredit religion; that's for sure.

Answer 2

You are asking two different questions.  The first question "Is media decreasing superstition from society." can probably be argued both ways.  I think in some ways the media does decrease superstition by giving incredulous report of people who see the virgin mary on a piece of toast, for example.  In other ways they increase it, perhaps with shows like X-Files.  Or watch a telenovella on one of the spanish stations, they are full of superstition!

Your second question is much easier: "Is media able to decrease superstition from society?".  The answer is yes, if all the stations were able to collaborate and only show programming that viewed superstition with skepticism.
