Cut Buster Loose
Cut Buster Loose: "Today, with iPod earphone cords dangling from millions of heads, and movies flooding into homes where they jostle for plasma screen time with video games, Americans are entertaining themselves into inanition. Furthermore, journalism and imitations of it have become social smog. Even in airport concourses you are bombarded by televised human volcanoes verbally assaulting each other about the 'news,' broadly-- very broadly--defined to include Kobe Bryant's presence on Michael Jackson's witness list.
In 1967 public television did at least increase, for many, the basic television choices from three--CBS, NBC, ABC--to four. Not that achieving some supposedly essential minimum was, or is, the government's business. In today's 500-channel environment, public television is a preposterous relic."
