A truly saddening development of modern media. Programming which lacks any redeeming social,
intellectual or moral value but is nonetheless poigniant in a macabre
way due to the reflection it offers of a rapidly declining western
culture. Primarily watched by mindless, brainwashed Americans who are long since bereft of any intelligent thought or recognizable human values (greed and self-interest notwithstanding).
Reality TV is one of the major reasons I decided to stop watching
television entirely. That, and the fact that every news station in the country is owned by a very small number of rich
white males who have absolutely no vested interest whatsoever in educating the public, offering useful information, or doing anything other than making more money than any human being could possibly have practical use for over several lifetimes.
