Too Much Broadcasting and not enough news!
That statement may be too simplistic and misleading.
Let me clarify:
1. Too much attention is paid by the media to bad news. And where it isn't bad enough to suit them, they exaggerate, and they beat the listener over the head with their hot stories until numbness sets in, along with hopelessness, despair and complacency.
2. Not enough good news. It's out there. You know it, and I know it. I want to hear it on the news. However, the media wants no more than an occasional 'human interest piece' to punctuate their ongoing series of tragedies.
3. There is very little real news broadcast. Why is that? They prefer stories they can spin to suit their advertisers or the power brokers who own them.
Where I work, a network I do not like is broadcast 24/7 with no ability to change the station. It is loud. It is intrusive. It makes it difficult to help clients, and it is demoralizing. Bottom line: it is Orwellian.
Corporations make decisions based only upon money. Where is the heart?
If a corporation is granted the status of a legal entity under the law, then it has an obligation to have heart, like a real entity.
What can we do about that? At home I use the off switch. Yet more than that is needed.
Control your own thoughts and don't let them think for you!
Be Well
