Think maybe why this is why so much of society today resembles a "Jerry Springer" society? I do...they sit at home eating snacks, drinking beer, watching Jerry Springer Show and subconsciously think, "yea, they show that on TV so it must be normal".
They have no other frame of reference and a moral compass without a magnet. So...yea, the media is slowly creating the society that will one day produce "President Camacho" and everyone will drink "Bondo" cause....its got electrolytes.

That sad reality is, TV indeed does shape the worldview of many people. Yes, most of here at ATS and those with higher IQs tend to look beyond the BS that is TV and come to our own conclusions, but look at the people who's entire belief system is shaped by Fox News, or MSNBC. Or Reality TV. Or American Idol (or any of it's fifty gajillion spinoffs).
I can't believe I'm agreeing with Michelle Obama, but she is spot on.
Speaking to a group of television and screenwriters in Washington, D.C., on Friday, First Lady Michelle Obama praised the movie and television industry in the United States for promoting same-sex marriage.
"TV shapes our understanding of the world."
That's like saying The Kardashians shape our understanding of family relationships.
Every year you see how the halftime show is ALL ILLUMINATI...
Here's a pro-tip to help you understand the illuminati conspiracy believers.

Explain your theory.
I read similar theories all the time but not once has it been explained.
How is the halftime show supporting the Illuminati?
Curious.
To begin Michelle is only married to the president, we did not elect Michelle.
Her opinion is no more important than my opinion.
Why does what she says matter so much to ewe?
The theme here is that the movie and TV industry has the power to shape people's understanding of issues. Sure, it can be biased, but... caveat emptor.
If you post on ATS, expect to have your posts dissected.

What I hate is when a person dissects my response. If you wish I no longer respond to the threads you post then fine.
I still wonder why you care what Mrs. Obama thinks.
