During Bush’s second term, a man did this on an American freeway in protest of the wars. Did you see it on the news?

Recently, a soldier on leave went to the movies with his friends and family and during the movie pulled out a gun and shot himself. Did you hear about this on the news?

A former UK Ambassador confirmed that the CIA tortured people to make them admit they were an Al-Queda member in order to fuel the war. He detailed the torture as including torturing children in front of their parents to get them to say what they wanted.

Did you hear about this on the news?

A general for coalition forces just resigned over the bombing of over a hundred innocent people. Did the news report this?

I could sit up here on my soapbox and hammer this point until the cows come home, but I’ve been doing it for years and does it do any good?

Not as long as people keep letting the media use the television to hypnotise them.

Make no mistake, the TV puts you in an alpha state and feeds you a steady stream of images and information, designed to shape your perceptions and opinions. Your subconcious is being controlled and no matter how strong you think you are, if you watch TV, you are submitting your subconscious to the power of the media’s suggestion.

Sorry, some day I tend to have a low tolerance for bullshit and some so-called “news” will send me off into a rant. ;)
