Constantly breaking through the bottom line is tantamount to destroying human civilization

You no longer need to go to the newsstand and buy the newspaper to know yesterday’s news. You don’t need to wait to watch the news broadcast in front of the TV regularly. Just turn on the computer and tap a few keyboards to know the world’s major events.

But if the media exists because of the business model, driven by monetary benefits, and produced because of click-through rates and ratings, then these factors established for business will cover up the truth, distort the facts, annihilate the truth, and create a warm story. The fictitious people will be terrified by the ugliness, and even by digging into the pain of others to fill the dark prying heart... We have already seen these, the host on the show is extremely sensational, with the purpose of making the guests cry. ; the transformation of real news with stitching or post-production, the Siberian tiger appeared in impossible places; more reporters loss of basic moral bottom line, just to the victims of a vicious rape and forced interviewed aggressive ......

now at In the social reality of high inflation, high prices, low relative income, and disparity between the rich and the poor, because they no longer believe that the individual’s ability is sufficient to change the status quo, they give up the utopia of struggle to take the upper hand, travel through countless novels, and recently travel through TV series are also popular. Even movies have gone from romance to drama to today's overhead history.

We used to believe in fairness, objectivity, and ethics, but we can’t see from the media’s discourse and dissemination tendencies. Negative things, the more ugly the content, the more sought-after. , And talking about it is nothing more than juniors, drug abuse, wealth climbing, etc., even more famous celebrities today confirm their actions in the opposite direction. But a farce out of it. It is the skits and cross talks that often exist during the Spring Festival Gala, which were originally satires and exposures of some negative phenomena or behaviors in life, and gradually became purely funny or ugly, and lost their artistic function and appeal.

The media makes our information more free, but it makes our minds more closed. If you don’t know, you will be Baidu or Google; if you can’t find the information, you just need to download it; if you don’t understand the situation, you will be an angry youth; if you don’t respect privacy, you will be human... Only accept and no longer think, just check and no longer study, we think we are omnipotent In fact, we are slowly losing ourselves, the ability to think, the ability to judge, the ethics of being a person, and the bottom line of morality...

After getting a sharp sword, you must not forget to wear it with a scabbard. Rules and order are a must for a civilized society. Constantly breaking through the bottom line is tantamount to destroying human civilization.

    William Holden and Faye Dunaway are amazing. The audience in the movie is hysterical, and the audience outside the movie is also a little hysterical

    amuse ourselves to death! ! ! The ending is still a little underwhelming!

Network quotes

  • Howard Beale: [on the air] Last night, I was awakened from a fitful sleep shortly after two o'clock in the morning, by a shrill, civil and faceless voice. I couldn't make it out, at first, in the dark bedroom. And I said, "I'm sorry, you will have to talk a little louder"... The voice said to me, "I want you to tell the people the truth, not an easy thing to do, because the people don't want to know the truth." And, I said, "You're kidding. What the hell should I know about the truth?" But, the voice said to me, "Don't worry about the truth. I will put the words in your mouth." And I said, "What is this, the burning bush? For God sake, I'm not Moses." And the voice said to me, "And I'm not God! What does that got to do with it." And the voice said to me, "We're not talking about eternal truth or absolute truth or ultimate truth. We're talking about impermanent, transient human truth. I don't expect you people to be capable of truth; but, God damn it, at least you're capable of self-preservation!" And I said, "Why me?" And the voice said, "Because you're on television, dummy! You have 40 million Americans listening to you and after this show you could have 50 million. For Pete sake, I'm not asking you to walk the land in sack cloth and ashes, preaching the Armageddon. You're on TV, man!"

  • Laureen Hobbs: The Ecumenical Liberation Army is an ultra left sect, creating political confusion with wildcat violence and pseudo-insurrectionary acts - which the Communist Party does not endorse. The American masses are not yet ready for open revolt. We would not want to produce a television show celebrating historically deviational terrorism.

    Diana Christensen: Miss Hobbs, I'm offering you an hour of primetime television every week, into which you can stick whatever propaganda that you want.
