A Characterization of My Feelings on Television

This is a remix of a video from a movie called “Network” that came out in 1976. I never even heard of this movie until recently, but I love the rant given by the character in this clip. I don’t think TV in and of itself is evil, it’s just a problem when it replaces the normal, critical thinking and self-reflective thoughts that are supposed to bounce around one’s brain. On new year’s day 2007 I started fasting from all major local and national news and it has been one of the best personal growth choices I’ve ever made. One might fear you’d be ignorant if you don’t stay abreast of the news, but rather you shake all the fear-mongering perpetuated by the major news outlets and gain an entirely new level of clear, critical thinking capabilities.

    Network is an awesome movie. “I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!”

    Question: Does satire on TV fall into the same category as all other news ?
    Great post.
