Reality Television has had an interesting by-product.

In my day Outside Reality came to us in the form of CNS, NBC, ABC and, for the fully brainwashed, PBS. Movies showed us that an American in a crisis was a panicking hunk of jelly until the guys in costumes and the College educated sophisticate came along.

On TV and in the movies, we were the aliens. No plot ever blamed Moscow. The movie always showed, and shows. The idea that Communists do something wrong as a cover for right wing evil, perpetrated by white Americans.

I have to switch away from Twilight Zone replays when they show something Southern, because it always shows that all blacks accused of crime are not only innocent but saints.

Reality TV is dangerous because it shows reality. The average American seldom goes to pieces in an emergency. Homeland Security can’t stop a terrorist but his fellow passengers could. But the media, including FOX, didn’t want to dwell on the implications of that. If the regular media worship regular bureaucrats, conservatives worship the ones in costume, and neither wants average Americans to get uppity.

Leftism and respectable conservatism is a team effort.

On Twilight Zone TV blacks are all saints. Watching Reality TV you are surprised, EVEN IN ALASKA, if the repeat criminal they catch is white.

As I have said, people got a bit tired of watching grown men scream and panic in regular TV whenever the villain shows up and The Authorities aren’t there. The official line of the media, including the good old respectable, was you should give the criminal everything he wanted. If he was raping your daughter, if was OK to scream, but better to keep smiling at him.

It is like the first reaction to that latest terrorist his fellow passengers took down. It was not to treat Americans less like a prison population, but to forbid them going to the bathroom within an hour of landing.

FINALLY, at LONG last, the reaction was an unbelieving laugh and some RESENTMENT for a change.

On very rare occasions he regular media might have to report a foiled robbery, but they ALWAYS said the resister “risked his life and that of others.” BAD boy!

Raised in that uniforms-are-everything Obedience Generation environment, it is hard for me to believe that I am seeing “American Fight Back” stuff. It is real breakthrough, but only I am going to point it out to you.
