[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3786972, member: 56035"] marx says those who control the means of production, control the mental production as well. an example of this in movies was the matrix where everything is a lie, and the same is true in life where alot of things are done wrong to control us. i think TV is mostly propaganda. the show shark tank i was thinking is propaganda to make it look like the rich are investing their money into businesses and making the economy grow (not that the environment can handle more consumerism anyways). they are in reality sitting on trillions of cash because the economy is so weak. then theres a bunch of pro police shows so we are all happy when the police state comes. judge judy does a couple things. first of all, shes extremely rude to the poor people on her show, which is a common propaganda theme on other shows (american idol with simon cowell is an example). the second propaganda element of judge judy is that we have a justice system where people even go to trial. more than 95% of criminal cases end up in plea deals, even for crimes they didnt commit. the system is too poorly funded for everyone to have a jury.
