The past few days I've felt really frustrated, hopeless, and helpless after the Orlando shooting. I feel like we're all going to grieve for a few days, I'm gonna listen to People Who Can Eat People a couple times, and then we'll all continue with nothing changed, waiting for the next one. I still feel helpless, but I have thought of some things, short-term and long-term, that I think might help if you want to do something.
Here is a list of some books and articles that may be helpful for you.

I really liked Black Flags: The Rose of Isis by Joby Warrick. It's a great primer on the origins and history of the group and its 2 most important figures, Abu al Zarqawi and Ayman al-Zawahiri. Before I read it Isis was for me as you alluded to: a topic I heard about all the time but really only had a surface level knowledge of.
Here's the link to the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Flags-The-Rise-ISIS/dp/0385538219
Your assertion that there is absolutely no state-sponsored influence on any facets of American media, and that there are no power players who involve themselves in advertising, is obviously, categorically false. Your argument is founded solely on either naivety or misinformation. I'd recommend to everybody seeing this read The Dictator's Handbook, NY Times best-selling Dark Money, and maybe even Pulitzer-prize winning Black Flag for a more in-depth study on the complicated issue of how exactly we're manipulated and exploited.
