i just want to point out that we have different types of news out there in the world
1 news that effects us. eg taxes go up that little bit to annoy your life ever so slightly more 2 news that means something even though it doesnt effect you directly - biker gangs in the local community 3 news that highlights what the world is really like outside. eg iraqi insurgence and kenyan election violence and 4 useless news - overpaid spoiled young american female popstar chooses to do nothing better with her money and fame than to self-destruct, in front of the cameras for all to see
sadly the commercial networks of television seem hellbent at cultivating a culture of ignorance. dedicating its resources to telling us of the trials and tribulations of american popstars rather than giving us a clear insight of what is really going on out there in the world
are we really that afraid of what goes on out there?
seriously?
think of where you live! because you live in an english speaking country, they will dedicate all their media resources to document some overpaid american pop star "self-destruct" why? is this going to "make us feel better about ourselves"? would the folks of al-jazeeira give a damn about this so-called 'plight'? im sure the lives of 100 iraqi citizens getting blown up while they were trying to mind their own business on a saturday afternoon means so much less as a result
michael franti's disposable heroes of hipocrisy have hit the nail on the head by saying "television - the drug of the nation creating ignorance and fueling radiation"
