It’s no secret that most of the so-called ‘talk shows’ are based on poorly written scripts and have no connection with reality. Editors hire actors to play roles of passionate speakers. These ‘fakesperts’ pretend to be popular American or European activists or academic figures, and do their best to behave as aggressively as possible, making anti-Russian statements right in the studio. The other part of speakers ‘defend’ national historic honor, burning the opponents with their sarcastic replies. Every drama needs a conflict; every show needs a scandal – those are the rules.
The viewer is expected to watch that storm of emotions and to experience a flood of patriotism, righteous anger and hunger for revenge. That is what the producers think people need.
Hate-speech, primitive and generalized statements, black-and-white pictures of the world and other bigotry – this is what feeds people’s minds on a hard day’s night. It goes without saying, that this kind of TV production is part of the strategy. It keeps people busy with Ukraine, Syria, and scheming operations of the US Department of State rather than the day-to-day problems of their neighborhood, town, and region.
However, here comes another question. Do people deserve to be treated like ‘sheeple’?
I think they do. If you abandon critical thinking, if you prefer a convenience over truth, then you’re helping to deceive yourself. Serves you right!
We are living in an open world and there is no excuse for those who cannot find objective information. At times, the real picture is right under your nose. Just google the word “propaganda” and find an article called “Confessions of a Propagandist” that talks about the system of political TV in detail. If you really need the information about how it works, you have just to lift your finger, quite literally. Otherwise, you do not deserve any sympathy living in your run-down provincial town.
