Marginalizes

"When the corporate media chooses to ignore serious political art, it marginalizes it.  Millions of people who might see, read, hear that art, don't.  Their questions, ideas, feelings are not then validated by witnessing them portrayed accurately in art.  Art tells many people its OK to think and feel unpopular things. Without that assurance, people are often isolated with their own perception of reality and will retreat to official conformity and the comfort of patriotism, even when it betrays the ideals it is meant to support"
--Rob Shetterly, painter
