I prefer Pilger to Moore. IMO Pilger tends to be more committed to what he says although he does, at times, gets a little too emotionally myopic.

Moore makes a product for his audience he's the equivalent to those specials like 'what really killed Cleopatra?' some interesting facts but relies on staging etc. He makes products for the instant set those who want to be entertained rather than informed.

Personally my favourite soap boxer is Chomsky he's rational/objective, informative and believes what he says.He was on about East Timor for years and his books on corperatism in the US are fascinating...but you know that.

I can't stress too much that you should watch Baroness professor Susan Greenfield's Fora http://www.abc.net.au/tv/fora/stories/2009/10/09/2709586.htm lecture. It adds to/amplifies what you have said with experiments etc. She explains what the "screen culture is doing' and to some degree how frightening stuff to my over reasoning brain.I've sent in a discussion topic.

Her lectures are very accessible(She's a world renown brain scientist, her current specialty is Alzheimer. she has several similar BBC videos on Line. Really an impressive person a bio that would make Einstein blush.)

It answers my discomfort with Yabby's stance on genes etc. I've ordered two of her books from UK Amazon.

I would like to appologise to examinator for going right off topic but it is sort of related...anyway I'll go to the naughty corner anyway (sigh). I've named every minute blemish in the paint work!
;-)

Dear Examinator,

Thanks for answering my question about Pilger and Moore.
I agree with you about Moore - although I've enjoyed
some of his work. As for Pilger, I used to be a great
admirer until his recent attacks on the US President -
which makes me rather wary of his motives.
In fact, it now makes me question his motives in general.
It's so disappointing to learn that 'heroes,' are
mere mortals afterall.
I had such a big 'crush,' on Pilger!

The Baroness, sounds very articulate
and the issues she raises are important ones,
especially when you consider
that the average person between the ages of three and
sixteen spends more time in front of the TV set than
in school.

Her studies sound interesting because some experts
claim that the influence of television like that of
other media, is difficult to trace with any certainty,
because it is inevitably entangled in a multitude of
influences on personality.

Anyway, I shan't say too much on this thread because you've
started a new one on the topic,
to which I'd like to contribute.

Chomsky? Yes, please!

Get ready, TV viewers, for the mass media onslaught prepared for you by the social engineers.

As reported by Big Hollywood’s John Nolte yesterday,
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/10/15/leaked-memo-reveals-the-white-house-has-control-of-your-television-set/

..the long-expected mind control offensive will take full effect from October 19 to 25.Over 60 network television shows will “spotlight the power and personal..benefits of service.”

“All roads”, Nolte writes, “funnel into one place: online volunteer portals, including Serve.gov, where if you plug in “health care” all kinds of Planned Parenthood openings pop up along with a video dispelling..those ugly “myths” knocking ObamaCare.”>>given insurance..not medical care

It comes as no surprise that the offensive is especially directed at programs that enjoy the highest ratings in the country. Listed by initiator, the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), as ‘Campaign Elements’ for the coming mass media offensive are: “to ‘organically’ create and produce as many stories as possible about service and volunteerism and connect them in the plots of network dramas, comedies and reality shows.”

“Ideally”, states the EIF press release, “storylines will touch on one or more of the key issues that have outlined as the country’s priorities for services:

Foxy,

She shows evidence that of how the (brain) physical process that computer games etc do in fact create the brains capabilities the taxi driver example.
Watch one of her lectures.

'As for Pilger, I used to be a great
admirer until his recent attacks on the US President -
which makes me rather wary of his motives.

WTF?

Haha classic Foxy. If Pilger criticises Bush I'm sure you'd get a wet spot, but if he dares touch your latest lefty hero, well that's a different matter.

People are so funny. I think Opinion Columnists are just like any 'Social Commentators' (I'm still looking for that UNI course BTW antiseptic, one day I'll be a fully qualified Social Commentator), people read them to confirm what they already think.

Just like dear old Foxy here.

That's why people can get easily sucked in by the black and white minstrel shows (making fun of black people), and people like Mike Moore (making fun of people like Bush). Darn he's so funny I just knew those right wing people were dumb and simultaneously cunningly corrupt like he's sayin they are.

It can all be summed up by people hearing what they want to hear. Information doesn't come into it.
