A movie made 30 years ago that perfectly describes the situation today about television, news, and the main stream media. It resonates louder and sounds truer today that it did when the movie was made.

Hehehe good stuff, then again, are books not also subject to the same corrupting influences? It is more a problem of critical reasoning than the tube itself, at least from where I sit.

I think this rant becomes less relevant after about 2002, when people began seeking news from many different sources (the internet). Although still there is progress to be made...
We can only hope that the network(s) don't take over the internet too.

Invocations (nsfw) cannot be called by flechette because flechette is not privileged - sorry.
