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.
