The Editorial is pretty good ... I am excerpting parts here ... it runs to several pages of examples
Should we abolish television? In fact, should we outlaw the film industry?
The problem is that the most popular paranoias seem to be conditioned by popular TV or movie images, far more than facts.
Otherwise normal, intelligent people seem to build their version of reality on the images broadcast repeatedly by
popular media, not by reading and research. It is as if movie screens and TV screens were hypnotic mind control instruments.
UNQUOTE
I could say much the same about con games distributed by e-mail.
