My favorite show is how it's made. I used to love that when I had cable. Fascinating stuff 
I'm the type of person who will drop everything and Google something I don't understand, which usually results in another hour of trying to figure it out (at minimum). I just don't understand people who don't want to learn
(yes, I still watch silly stuff to blow off steam) |

Hell, even people here have problems distinguishing between a fairly reasonable article, a clearly biased article making unwarranted conclusions based on little evidence, AND A FAKE ARTICLE ON A SATIRE NEWS SITE! Shows like ancient aliens, or finding bigfoot, or whatever BS they have on any given day are part of a positive feedback loop: I believe ridiculous things due to an inaccurate knowledge of the facts, therefore I watch ridiculous shows based on presenting the facts in an inaccurate manner, therefore I become more likely to believe more ridiculous things, and so on. |

Let's face it, it's about money. It's cheaper to contract "reality" tv people and film them making us look like a nation of fools (Duck Dynasty) rather than taking the time to hire good writers and get input from scholars and intellectuals with real knowledge. This obsession with greed that has ruined movies, music, tv, etc is masked by a facade of "equality" and "social justice".
We are fed this contradicting message day in and day out from the media and government. As a college student at a state university in a swing state I see it all the time. One group of faculty and "professionals" is always telling you about how get ahead of the other kids while the others tell you how being a white male means that you are the cause for the world's problems. It's truly sickening and anyone involved in the destruction of our culture should be ashamed. |
