Neil Postman,

Neil Postman Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985) He criticized the television industry for confounding serious issues with entertainment, demeaning politics by making it less about ideologies and more about image.

In watering down news to entertainment we, as a society, cease to care about the real important issues that alter our day to day existence. By keeping the people uninformed, the masses do not notice that they are losing their freedom.

Think of the media you consume (be specific)… TV Music Movies Video Games Magazines Websites Books
