"When will we reach our breaking point? Our minds have beccome a virtual dumping grounds of pollutants ___ manipulative ads, disrtorted news, untold violence, spin and hype. We can cope with the media onslaught to a degree. But all signs suggest that the cumulative effects of this toxic culture ___ on our stress levels, our moods, our relationships, our worldviews, even our mental health ___ could become one the most pressing issues of our generation." AdBusters, Journal of the Mental Environment
WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE in what we are seeing. hearing and reading too much infotainment and not enough news; too many outlets telling the same stories; too many commercialism and too much hype. Every day, this commercial information system distorts our view of the world.
WE HAVE LOST FAITH in the intitutions of the mass media. A handful of corporations now control more than half the information networks around the world. At a time when people worldwide face hunger, social disruption, war and ecolical collapse, only those who know how to walk the walk, talk the talk, or pay big bucks are getting their message across." - AdBusters, Journal of the Mental Environment.
