I fear that that the middle episode of the brilliant Back Mirror gives an all too realistic view of the way the modern world is heading. Every it seems that there is a new 'reality' program being plastered over our screens, the constant steam of syrupy mush is almost enough to make any sane person feel genuinely nauseous.
And yet there must be a demand, otherwise why else would it be made? And it is made and not just filmed. I am yet to see a single program with the label of "reality" that represents any form of reality lived in by anyone from this universe or any other. This "Fake Fodder" is slowly dominating the media. Even news outlets are corrupted, tabloid newspapers are not showing us the world as it is but a twisted version manufactured into little bite size chunks that provide nothing of any value to anyone!
The whole of western media is nothing more than a system of compliance that keeps us distracted from the emptiness of our existence and soon I'm sure it will become our existence in a way just as we have just witnessed.
The free media is dying and soon independent blogs such as this will be forced to take on their role. This hopefully will be a long time from now but I fear the age of public news will be gone long before any of us who read this.
