Narcissism and TV ...
Elitist Elite
Narcissistic and media
Since the early 80s, the market controls the media and Television .
* of the media in democracy in principle should dedicate to intellectual progress, and cultural criticism, the people.
In a few decades, the market system has stripped chains large audiences of all their journalistic values. He gradually transformed into a vast liberal supermarket. Media owners have formed a small group of leaders and narcissistic subject to animate their new storefront. The intention of the market is more basic : to spread the ideology and neoliberal perspective to thrive. In recent years, the media have totally excluded the intelligence of the people of the television space . The airtime is fully available to a small elite and pro elite various powers .
* Political power, military power, market power.
The current leaders, because they do not meet enough of strong opposition, became self-centered and clanistes . Popular values are separated media for the exclusive benefit of self-centeredness and selfishness . Expropriation and this has implications for the entire society. She gradually atrophy large popular values ( humility, solidarity and sharing) .
It stimulates the contrary primary and elitist impulses ( narcissism, venality and selfishness ) .
She steals the speaking time should go to the people principle ( this is the meaning of democracy ) .
It also dismisses the benevolent elite TV trays . It prevents and express ideas favorable to the people. Ideas of justice, pacifism, sharing and generosity .
It prevents people exposing his worries and complaints . And muzzling led a part of the population to move towards the ends .
And finally, this process prevents effective treatment of serious issues in society. Topics such as slavery, the working poor, the exploitation of prostitution, corruption, ghettoization, etc. . These issues of society, treated sporadically persist and grow . They found in this release some journalistic legitimacy.
the media resignation
Forgetting the world
Area of lawlessness, mafias
We should feel sorry for each other, but we must have for some pity born of tenderness and pity for others born of contempt. Blaise Pascal Pensées
The resignation of the mass media participated in the abuse of the vulnerable world population.
Corruption, death squads, etc. .
The lack of involvement of the mass media to the great problems of society is obvious. Chains treat these subjects " bare minimum " . No real intention to move the lines. We talk about the homeless at the entrance to the winter by counting the dead. Suburbs when it burns . Old after the heat wave . Of the Haitian go after an earthquake. Of the Roma, drug addicts, prostitutes, organ theft, dictatorships when they become unavoidable events. In reality, the true information * is marginalized in favor of Bezness it occupies most of the airtime .
* Much of the information processed is often in relation to the market ( the stock market, the economy, etc. is different .
Because of this criminal negligence, the great problems of civilization are forgotten. So they degrade rather than improve . The explosion of corruption, the lawless areas, mafias, the death squads, in emerging countries, stems from the lack of lighting. Negligence of the Western media, whose influence is yet known when he decided to make things happen on any part of the world . And letting go increases the omnipotence of these illegal powers at the expense of democratic progress.
The lack of journalistic insistence before the violence suffered by the poor, increases the degree of impunity for the crime in humanity.
This lack of ethics, also promotes violence against honest and courageous journalists . Those who risk their lives to defend the truth and democratic and human values. Mafia, corrupt powers today feel they can eliminate their opponents * raises indignation. They feel they can eliminate journalists without raising global wave of support from the world of journalism . This is why ( mostly) bad dominant deprive themselves more to do .
* journalists, trade unionists, political opponents, etc. .
The influence of neo-liberalism
The reason of state is naturally willing to muzzle journalists taste for the truth. But it now is added tyranny velvet market.
* an even more powerful as we will see further tyranny.
In recent decades, Western television abandons a part of humanity . It totally forgotten what we call the third and fourth world *
* examples of this neglect are many .. just see the little followed by Western TVs, affected by disasters when the current is passed.
This neglect coincides perfectly with the arrival of the market in the media. Values is only fair, it gradually eliminates anything that is not. This excess of venality gradually destroys humility, ncorruptibilité and universality core values of journalism. Self-centeredness, the occidentalocentrisme, gentrification of the western media is relatively recent. It corresponds to the takeover of the latter by the market system . The pioneers of television had rather the desire to ask the people. The desire to universally defending the oppressed .
