TV Show - 24 - Viscious and Very Creative Propoganda

Good people,

If we didn't get it enough from EVERYWHERE else, 24 is back with some of the best and most insidious propaganda I have seen to date. First, I have to give them credit, the show is actually pretty good, the writing, the storyline, the action (can't forget the action) and I really like the artistic direction with the split screens and the fade out to the clock. Really compelling stuff.

I, of course, am not writing this blog to commend the show however, but to reaffirm that this show is absolutely shameful as a tool to further create fear in the American public of these so called "terrorists" while further establishing that the US is a victim and simultaneously creating an argument for continued increases to an already overblown defense budget, unforgivable torture and unexplainable and unwarranted attacks on the rest of the world.

Wake up, people!!! This show is classic Fox and it is most scary because it is presented as mere fiction. They showed a nuclear bomb explode in Valencia, California, for God's sake! How many Americans "innocently" watched this show and left with a picture in their mind of this horrid, unforgivable act that may just be slightly more inclined to accept how this country is operating with regard to its absolutely heinous foreign policies.

I only ask one thing, if you do choose to watch this show, please see it for what it is and be very careful about how you filter and process the messages and images of this show.
