We watch, read and listen to the media and what it has to
offer us because – it’s everywhere thanks to technology. It hypnotizes us into
believing what it desires us to believe in. That’s dangerous because it steers
us in directions it wishes us to follow without thought behind it on our part.
The media understands the kind of power they possess over us!
We may keep up with the news regularly and feel informed about
current events in our world - but this isn’t really true. Remember, we are only
as current on events as the media would prefer us to be according to what and
how they report it, or don’t report it. For instance, the world’s most important
stories that relate to our well-being are never reported to us by the
mainstream media. The media sponsors won’t allow it because they are a huge
part of the world’s most important stories!
When we simply take media at face-value, we allow ourselves
to be taken advantage of, and manipulated in the name of money without our ever
being aware of it. Money is what it’s always about. It’s totally artificial and
shallow entertainment, all in the name of ratings and profit. As a byproduct,
their low quality lineup has contributed to a lowering of moral standards, and
caused illness in our society. It has all happened very slowly; just slow
enough not to notice until it becomes a way of life. Each day it chips away
more at the very fabric of what would be the goodness of America. What goodness has it
ever brought to the table for anyone?
