When you pay for cable/satellite service, you are supporting the propaganda machine and the amorality machine with your money, whether you watch it or not.
When you use an antenna to watch the main networks and view their commericals, you are supporting the propaganda and amorality machine.
When you watch TV at all, you are submitting to mind programming. With digital signal, all sorts of subliminal stuff can be snuck in.
How many movies do we see where a black female is in charge of a bunch of white male hard asses? Or movies where black males are the authority figure, the grizzled gunny sergeant, the hard charging general?
Or how many of those blasted commercials can you see that portray mixed race relationships as normal (always a white woman with a black.mulatto man), or how many shows and commercials portray white men as idiots and portray them being shown up by the wisdom of children, women and minorities?
To hell with that.
Ever notice how people who give up TV seem happier and more informed/aware? That they seem to care less about possessions and materialism in general?
There is a reason for that.
If you're really interested in knowing, check out Edward Bernays. He's the father of modern advertising and propaganda.
The entire media complex in this country is corrupt, controlled by a narrow spectrum of corporate entities, and oddly enough the leadership of those entities have very little diversity. Yet that lack of diversity is never discussed. Even broaching the topic equates to Nazism, anti-semitism and holocaust denial, such is the programming and the state of political correctness in this country.
We can not call a spade a spade without risking our careers and social standing.
We can not acknowledge how one ethnic group dominates government, media, and the financial industry. No way no how. I'll probably get flamed for even mentioning here as the PC virus seems to have infected almost everyone in this country.
What's the primary means for transmitting this thought virus and others as well? If you guessed television programming you'd be mostly correct.
Then look around you and notice how TVs are everywhere now. Restaurants, bars, gas stations, health clubs, just about everywhere, constantly blaring. And when you look around lots of folks are staring at them in between looking at their ELCDs (electronic life control devices aka smartphones). To me they appear to be like deer caught in the headlights, transfixed and hypnotized, unable to think or move to protect themselves from the danger expressed by those headlights.
Again, certain 'sacred truths' in this society MUST NOT BE QUESTIONED.
We are screwed six ways to Sunday.
