I used to not have anything but network TV. On 9-11, I watched ABC for an hour, but then some talking head (one I was not familiar with) announced that "this happened because we are too free, and that is going to change". What a jerk, I thought, and turned off the TV. I didn't watch it for the rest of the day. Turns out he was right. We did lose our freedoms. How did he know? My, my, could it all have been planned? Anyway, now I pay for satellite TV and only watch Democracy Now for my news. I don't see any of the annoying talking heads. I don't watch the commercials. I am culturally backward. I only hear about things like Michael Jackson's death and other murders and affairs through my co-workers. Believe me, that's enough! margit, I did the opposite of you.

I guess it happened because of capitalism and greed. Making mega-profits became more important than presenting the truth. So now we have a situation where media owners, politicians, and the military-corporate sectors are all in bed with each other. The results of that are predictable and damaging to democracy!

They are unbearable, and so determined to accomplish the goal they seek, to be sure that my fellow citizens go baabaabaa.I I so agree with margit, and thanks, David, for taking the time to examine the oh-so-common characteristics and motives of those ‘shows’ you listed.

TV is mind numbing - decided on 9-11-01 to stop paying for the headli(n)es spouting from the idiot box. Not a penny for the liars! Kill your TV! It's liberating. So hope that more and more people worldwide will use the internet for entertainment. Go to live performances and support local artists. Forget about the overpaid TV/Hollywood crowd. It's mostly propaganda anyway. Am not an artist but try to support street musicians, local painters, etc. We NEED art to survive the daily atrocities. German Yahoo just reported that the German military will stay in Afghanistan for about 10 more years. Hitler must be jealous in hell...nothing better than Colonial troops in resource rich countries. Someone needs to control the opium and oil! Rome is burning! TV is mind numbing – decided on 9-11-01 to stop paying for the headli(n)es spouting from the idiot box. Not a penny for the liars!
