My son forward this http://www.recombinantrecords.net/... to me. I think it's important enough to pass along. When he was 4 or 5 we read Four Arguments For the Elimination of TV by Jerry Mander and then I read Neal Postman. I abandoned TV at that point in my life. Whenever I try to puzzle out what the heck is wrong in the here and now, when I see restaurants covered in TV set to FOX, I remember these books.
follow the links at the bottom of the cartoon. I think Glenn Beck is a master at amusement and the rest are masters at generating hate.
My father grew up in Nazi Germany and I've tried to have conversations with him about Fox News. He's glued to Fox. His response is always, "I know what propaganda is. The government puts out propaganda." He can't acknowledge that the "info-newsment" on Fox is propaganda or at the very least manipulative. What to do?
