"News is not an unmediated 'window-on-the-world' but a selected and constructed representation constitutive of 'reality'." Like other forms of television, the news is a medium to the audiences that tend to agree with their opinions, arguments, and values that are presented. News is constructed to be negative towards the opposing side, positive to the audience it serves, and neutral to the new viewers. News presents the viewer with politics, economy, domestic and foreign affairs, sports, and hot/occasional stories.
I believe in the manipulative model, the media is a class-dominated society, the media is controlled by those in power. They control what we see, who we lean to believe in, and what we are informed about. We see the screened version of the aftermath. I also believe that we see what we want, hear what we want, and believe in who and what we want to. Therefore we can say that the hegemonic model is the model in power, because the type of people that believe in what is presented, is who it serves. For the case of women, femenist have said soap operas are the only validations and motives glorified as a space for women.
Soap operas and the Hegemonic model are two examples of presentations that serve a specific someone.
