<TV....."dumbing down" effect on its audience>

I think the upsurge of pacifism in the world, the ever-stronger idea that Force and the Threat of Force is not the way to run the Global Village (even if some of the village's citizens are idiots or monsters), is largely due to TV. The whole planet is seeing, up close in color, what war is, via CNN. It is children starving because the transportation system has broken down. It is piles of half-burnt bodies of young men. It is women committing suicide after being raped repeatedly. It is the pictures on TV, not the words in newspapers, that convince us war is not noble. CNN makes it impossible to romanticize war, to glorify it.
