Exploiting the uninformed: Real Dangerous.I fully admit to watching Real Time with Bill Maher for a couple years, years ago, when I was
“on the left.” I got out of that trap by 2007, as it became useless at least,
destructive at best.
Like anything in the “drive-by” media, people are attacked behind their backs (especially with same-old left vs. right games), leaving you to realize that the “competition to be destroyed here” ends up being the actual reality. The audience is supposed to be aroused, while those that project themselves as real (while falling in line with one of the stereotypes, including outsiders), are to be ridiculed, demonized, feared. There is no Real time here, just another audience set up to admire egotists, where time is dishonestly spent on phrases certain people want to hear. Things have gone so far with the lack of honest coverage, certain people remain programmed into
thinking “conservative = paranoid” — even Lou Dobbs has been declared “a
nut.”
How can someone spend their time seriously mixing fact with fiction, and not be propagandizing? The dangers lie in voices being shut out at all corners, all in the promotion of impersonal idolatry. Prohibition of representation brings the worst of anarchy. |
