Network

A movie made 30 years ago that perfectly describes the situation today about television, news, and the main stream media. It resonates louder and sounds truer today that it did when the movie was made.

If you turn your TV off, for the first week you panic with nothing to do. That's how empty our lives have become. Week 2 is easier.

Also, now he could add the internet :) Finally we have freedom, truth.. in its purest form. So he should add that(obv he couldnt at that time) but today, internet saved humanity from this propaganda, atleast, the fight HAS started. Because finally the intellectuals, the non sheeplet, can wake up the sheep, fast and easy, with a free spread and flow of truth, however, ofc, now the same guys want to shut down the internet with their SOPA and shit, but libery, peace, truth will never die!

With SOPA on the topic today, this is even more important. This will never become redundant.

Check out what one critic said back in 1976 in his unfavorable review of "Network":
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
The plot that Paddy Chayefsky has concocted to prove this point is so crazily preposterous that even in post-Watergate America -- where we know that bats can get loose in the corridors of power -- it is just impossible to accept.

The internet is NOT arguably worse. This is youtube, one website with video content. A lot of the world wide web is NOT VIDEO where all the subliminal messages and such are inserted. Imformation is READ on the computer; actual brain chemistry active. NO BRAIN CHEMISTRY when watching tv.

@EmceeSlick4life Ehh? freedom of speech. TRUE freedom of information and artistic expression? Sharing of information? overthrower of dictators? All seeing eye through corruption? Starting of groups, backbone of revolutions?

@Etrajbe Not quite yet it hasn't. In the end, humanity will need to save itself.

@EmceeSlick4life ... ( 1 week ago by Etrajbe)

@EmceeSlick4life You do need the internet to truly establish these things and sure to do some of the most important things as sharing it FOR REAL THIS TIME between cultures and defeating fascism and such. The internet is bad for libraries? TV? Post Offices? Ofc, this is why we have democracy? Stopping drug trade is bad for the millions working in those industries aswell. People know what they want, the internet TODAY is the only true unmodified source of freedom and information.

@EmceeSlick4life ... ( 1 week ago by Etrajbe)

@EmceeSlick4life Coming from someone who lives in the "freest" most open society in the world, its nothing compared to the internet. If ANYONE means the internet is anything else than the sharing of cultures, science, ideas, information, art. Spreading of truth and knowledge, fun and entertainment, freedom of opinions, speech, yes even narrow-minded insulting. They are an old, ignorant (probably a sad oligarch banker) who can either profit of being against it, or can't see out of his own head.
