What is wrong with the media?

Question

Why do they think only one type of image is beautiful? Why do they idolize what they idolize. This would be a much better place if people weren't os influenced by the devilish media.

Answer 1

It started out with the fact that fat people are not attractive. Therefore, society rationalized that that must mean thinness is proportional to attractiveness. People think in linear terms.

Answer 2

cause it is,  if the media puts fat over weith ugly people then the world will be full of it

Answer 3

You appear sooooooooooooooooooooooo........... right in what you have said.

Forwarding you a poem of Dr. Singh, on 'Human Nature and Development of Mind'.        

     "'The Same Old Story and The Same Old House"

"The same old story and the same old house, take care & do not frown,

people just like to ride, together on the same band wagon, playing the same old tune! (1)

The original, the new, the unbiased, untinted, untainted and without any change;

is a task so simple, yet so formidable and is mostly out of range! (2)

Because our; brain, values, teaching and learning is so much muddled;

is unable to truthfully; see, hear, process and project except but muddy puddles! (3)

Only to nourish, nurture, propagate and praise the creeps,

that is why some one great said milleniums ago, "we are His sheep"! (4)

There is no reason to be angry, pessimistic, unhappy and or be sad;

only strive to improve, but truthfully and be happy and glad! (5)



Media too, quite often forgets; the continents, forgets the countries,

as ever if they do exist, what to say about little villages and towns! (6)

They are fond of reporting; cheap, petty, crimes and thefts

and glorify the nuts, nincompoops and bizarre clowns! (7)

Leave no stone unturned on every channel to glorify such

useless events & pursuits & decore devilish deeds with crowns! (8)

The soap operas, the world news and or the local news,

mostly are nothing else but a lethal dose of blues! (9)

Every event is projected with, full steam ahead and full throttle,

but mostly tasteless booze, sensationalized in the brightest, glittering bottles! (10)

There is nothing much to learn and there is nothing much to gain,

except for neurons to vanquish and to put poor brain in the drain! (11)

Once a while there may be an event, bright, unbiased, without any tint and taint,

that will not anesthetise the brain and or make one asleep or faint! (12)

"If people weren't so influenced by the devilish media" as the wise have said

and alike a little baby the people are not just spoon fed! (13)



World would be a much better place, with plenty of peace, butter & bread;

but to know this secret, people do have to use their own head! (14)

Hope there will come a day, and there will come a dawn,

when the darkness will vanish and the wisdom will dawn! (15)

Until then blind is leading the deaf in belony games of looney cat and mouse,

which is nothing else, but the same old story and the same old house!

'The same old story and the same old house!'" (16)

Answer 4

I agree. The E! channel idolizes anyone willing to take their clothes off. Just look at their shows, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Girls Next Door, Sunset Tan, their all about bleach blondes who will take off their clothes!! It's degrading and disgusting. It's like, "oh, you don't have any morality? You don't have much self-respect. Okay, we've got a half hour for you on cable!!"

Answer 5

I really don't watch TV or listen to the news. I read the main headlines online and thats it just to get an idea of whats going on in the world.

You are right, people are basically sheep and human sponges they absorb everything they watch and listen to.

Answer 6

Media likes beautiful people. Its life....live with it! If you aren't pretty or handsome then don't listen or watch the media.

Answer 7

What media?

Answer 8

I agree. I think the media is toxic to the American way of life. They act like if you aren't some high dollar making beauty queen your a failure. I just realize that they are being irrational and try not to let it bother me.  

Answer 9

I would say .. media portrays reality in an exxagerated way and in turn ppl intend to learn from media..its like a vicious circle.. one leading to other..  

Answer 10

I agree, but obviously that's what people tune in to watch, so the sponsors put the money behind those kinds of shows..... sometimes its pretty pathetic, I agree

Answer 11

Nothing is wrong with the media. It is a money making business and as responsible business owners they pursue the paths which lead to the most profit. This currently happens to include smearing, and bad news, and fera tactics, or the image of beauty and youth.  Technically, they are doing their jobs perfectly. You simply do not like it, so you are not one of their target audience members.

Answer 12

Nothing much, they can be crazy as well as the life may be in the fast lane.

Answer 13

Not enough People are DOING anything about it. Oh Sure, Everyone complains, & says it stinks, & threatens not to Watch for this reason or that... -But THAT's not gonna "cut it". If you want the Media to CHANGE, you have STOP watching it and replace it with something BETTER... -And most People just can't be "bothered" to try !!!  :0

Answer 14

Most media can be greatly effected by advertisers.
