According to my uncle, who is a 7th Day Adventist--I don't know if that's a correlation or not, he says one needs to start at "walking age" with the "can of whoop ass" to teach right from wrong...
I just think that what gets put on Television is the low down "ghetto-fabulous" chic that "excites" and "tantilizes" the ratings--kinna like "Jerry Springer" does... Local news shows are no longer concerned about what is actually "newsworthy" but what looks good for ratings that "might be true" for the second... Because in there, you always have the "court of law", then you have the "court of public opinion"--which is only roughly 10-20 seconds at best of an attention span...
I just sat down at a YP meeting in my city about our website that we will launch and was floored by the fact that the web designer said that you only have 7-8 seconds to grab the attention of the viewer before they move past your site... But, since I am not in that field, I would have not known that bit of info... However, what does that say about the legitimacy of true information and mass media?
Propaganda to keep down the Brothaman...
