TV news is a terrible way to stay informed

TV news is a terrible way to stay informed

#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

It's easy to call out the Orwellian don't-believe-your-eyes propaganda, and we absolutely should. But the happy-talk, infantilizing, no-need-to-pay-attention-to-difficult-things propaganda of Huxley can be just as dangerous. #amusingourselvestodeath

What “legacy” media is still credible? ANY television “news” that isn’t #AmusingOurselvesToDeath? Major newspapers? The main @npr.org news shows? Magazines?

It’s not the that none of the these do good work. Just that the political priorities of their leadership take precedence.

Maybe people will finally learn that TV news is bad

#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

Yeah, I try to tell older people (the only ones still watching TV news) that TV “news” is bad. All of it.
#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

If these TV shows were intended as entertainment they could easily report the news without platforming liars. But it’s really just entertainment using the form of news that both sides the worst ideas into being normal.

#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

Its not funny. There is no LOL or smiles. This is bad, real bad. America has never, ever been this close tonits destruction . People may think ww1 or ww2. We were United in those efforts. We are not UNITED now. Huge difference.

TV “news” is bad and no one should watch it

#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

All TV “news” is bad. Some worse than others, but the format is garbage

#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

I am reading #amusingourselvestodeath and realizing what Postman predicted, and seeing Newsom write tweets/posts in the tone of Donald Trump is actually completely brilliant and necessary. TV truly destroyed print media, it’s not serious, coherent, and rational anymore. William Buckley died.

This is the world we now inhabit. (It may feel unserious, but it has dire effects) #AmusingOurselvesToDeath

UFC boss Dana White put out the word that the White House will be hosting a big UFC fight card next summer.

I think poorly of the people who watch hours of ANY “news” on TV. Just #AmusingOurselvesToDeath

Cycle that #NeilPostman described as Hell in his 1985 book #AmusingOurselvesToDeath

Donald Trump was never hilarious. Donald Trump was never funny. Donald Trump was never amusing. All of that is Russian social media laugh tracks, mind-fuck of Surkov order. You have all been bamboozled by Putin. Minds washed by absurd surreal antics politics, Russian.

Donald Trump was NEVER amusing, funny. #Sanewashing by humor, absurd, surreal brain exploits. #RussianInfromationWarOnSocialMediaSinceMarch2013

De overmatige aandacht van de publieke omroep voor de Formule 1 past in de algehele mondiale trend van de verdere verdomming van het plebs als één van de doelstellingen van het techbro-fascisme. #AmusingOurselvesToDeath

#AmusingOurselvesToDeath

I see your point, but it’s not amnesia when certain histories were never taught in schools, which was/is by design. You can’t forget something that you never knew. Americans know more about sports, entertainment, and trivia than actual history. #AmusingOurselvesToDeath

Facebook is full of reels like that just to get clicks/revenue. See also: 20-minute videos wherein one dumps a bunch of canned goods and cheese into a crockpot, or onto their kitchen counter, pretending that it's a real recipe video. #amusingourselvestodeath

"Orwell feared those who would ban books
Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one
Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us"

Gotta love that I come here and read how the government is being overtaken by a coup of tech bros and psychopaths. Meanwhile, the “regular” news is still reporting on Jlo’s plunging Grammy gown. Business as usual, America. #amusingourselvestodeath
