If you never had access to the internet, or never owned a television, chances are that you would never have believed a unique Doomsday virus was ravaging the globe. You also wouldn’t believe that the United States was bordering on civil war. You’d live your life, talk with your neighbors, engage in small talk at the store or work, and go home. Life, and reality, is what you’d see with your own eyes, not images or voices or sounds from a screen and speakers.
Contrast what you see and hear on television with what you see and hear throughout your day. They aren’t exactly similar, are they? Think about the power that Big Media hold over your worldview. They effectively control your reality, warping it, and compelling you to act against what you see with your own eyes. It’s unbelievable, really.
