Considering the prevailing and deeply-rooted ideology and biases against other people and other ideology, do the media have the courage and the wish to move beyond their audience's accepted stereotypes of others?

Should the media promote their own culture and values as a set of universal values?
Facing poverty, diseases and wars, our enemies are not other people who live differently from us.
Our enemies are ignorance, intolerance, misunderstanding and our mistrust of others.

In many cases in recent decades, media have become a catalyst in breeding hatred and fueling divisions, violence and war.
