I'll come back at you with a part II.<BR/><BR/>Roi, that's interesting because the notion of a "mind control tv" seems to be downplayed in developing countries where more than often people rely on a sole source (the state) to provide them with news. To this day, many trust in that information and take it as completely truthful. I wonder what the content was like in trinidad in 1963?Dousannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765634089359294941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846728145057640260.post-23147742855732357822007-02-14T03:19:00.000-08:002007-02-14T03:19:00.000-08:00when i was growing up in trinidad my colleagues an...when i was growing up in trinidad my colleagues and i decided to blank (avoid like a plague) the mind control perpetrated by the media including the TV...we nicknamed it the "idiot's box" <BR/>my gran ma now an ancestor would like that as she protested when grandad brought home a tv in 1963....<BR/><BR/>great to be linked<BR/>check out<BR/>www.ankhkara.blogspot.comroi kwabenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223500341927234016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846728145057640260.post-80432123900638224192007-02-08T05:08:00.000-08:002007-02-08T05:08:00.000-08:00I'm honoured to be the first person to reply:)As t...I'm honoured to be the first person to reply:)<BR/><BR/>As they say, a picture can speak a thousand words.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the interesting & thought-provoking read.<BR/><BR/>To answer your questions,I humbly believe it's a case of negative reports outnumbering the postive ones, which, as you stated, shows our failures:) but that leads to other questions, do people tend to refer to the past as " the good old days" simply because the media wasn't that advanced & sophisticated as it is now & thus, they couldn't get easy access to global news?<BR/>& how about the media/news content?<BR/>Isn't it being played up or down,edited or concealed in accordance to its controllers'/providers' perceptions & tweaked to suit their needs?! *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Personally, I watch TV for 3 reasons: Movies, sitcoms and documentaries:)hipsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495355143559365686noreply@blogger.com
