This culture jam excellently illustrates the power of the male ruled society. Especially how news is presented to us, by networks owned and run by white upperclass males, which is sure to present them in the best light and keep everyone else in their tidy little cliches.....which is perpetuated by the idea of the woman behind the typerwriter. (She's in her place doing women's work!) The overall idea in this culture jam is focused on the idea of money = power and the ability to therefore control the media and the country as the media is the source of information in society, so the idea of coorporations ruling and controlling the people is cleary articulated in the messages proscribed in the culture jammer. The WWII propoganda style of the jammer alludes to the misrepresentations that are projected by this overly bias coorporate news and how the media/ news misleads the population to favour their beliefs....never mind what's actually happening.....this is all you need to know, kind of coverage. The idea that the less we, as society, know the better off we are.

And it also highlights the power that some men have over other men, too; intersectional feminism reveals all the ways in which systems of domination affect individuals.
