Individual voters are influenced by media. Publishers look hard for any story they can spin into public outrage; it's natural for politicians not to want to be a hero of such story, because it will cost them votes.

They're also influenced by education. There's nothing to suggest that education is less subversive to your individual thoughts and preferences than "media", except the media you consume is largely voluntary, while education is forced upon you while you are a minor.
