Cable TV, the real enemy.
By Michael Gallinar
I completely agree with Jon Stewart that cable television is fostering divisiveness in society, and you see it all the time. Every time you see the news or read the newspapers and there is a political peace, the media is always trying to split republicans and democrats like it was high school and you have the cool kids and the nerds.
I like the analogy Stewart makes about how the media has become our immune system; whenever the media over reacts to an issue we over react to it and we are becoming more and more sick as a people because of it.
But its not all the media's fault. Its partly ours for feeding in to it. The networks survive on television ratings, so we're pretty much feeding that which is making us sick.
I can agree and disagree with you, cable television can be the real cause of many ugly things, however indivuals dont have to watch it. We make a choice my clicking on the remoute.
