I never encountered
this gods-awful piece of shite -and I'm glad, because I nearly had a fucking aneurysm reading the
Media Lens media alert over it. I really can't bring myself to read the actual piece- the title is more than enough!
The critique of mass media production by the Media Lens boys is their usual cutting stuff and should be a compulsory part of children's education so that they are aware of just how these corporate mouthpieces manipulate public perception and can go forth into the world equipped to deal with the corporations's propaganda trap (Jesus! Can you
imagine the furore if the government tried to introduce
that into the national curriculum! Its like a wet dream!).
I know I regularly link to articles from the Independent but I take everything I read at face value and there's a lot of crap in there that I ignore or don't bother to read because its irrelevant to modern society's problems as I see them.
Word.
