Keeping the citizens uninformed.
Not just ABC, but all of the network "news."
It's 2014, and it's only gotten worse. Tonight, stories about Taylor Swift and Brad Pitt, and other entertainers.
What concerns Americans? Jobs. Security.
Their news is about nothing but....info-tainment.
And there's always a few stories to scare everyone.
Meanwhile, there's important information that people need to know, to make good decisions in this very tenuous world we live in, to be active citizens.
The other thing is the FCC (laws) that regulated how much commercial time was allowed per hour has been increasing commercial air time. On average, it's 20+ minutes per hour of commercials. (Lots more pharmaceutical commercials to watch, oh goody.) So we're down to an average of 40 or so minutes per hour of show content. On most cable channels, you can't even fast forward through commercials anymore. You have to triple pay...your monthly fee, plus pay to watch last season's shows, plus watch the commercials which the cable company gets paid again for.
We're just chumps. Taking it.
I see what you are getting at. It's certainly a concerted effort to: Keeping America stupid. It's obvious.
And it seems....outrageously intentional.
Follow the money.
Whose interest does it serve perpetuating the stupi-fication of Americans? And who profits?
The oligarchy. Wall street and the global corporations, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas companies, insurance monopolies, those who wish to remain in control of our governement...
It's pretty bad.
