The Age of Brain Disorders

Regarding the article "The Age of Show Business," we see that sometimes television does more harm than we are led to believe. Though I believe television does provide some proper educational programming, some shows should not be aired at all. This article describes the psychological harm television media programs cause to our younger generation.

Graphic content is always shown in some spanish news television like Primer Impacto. I wonder if the FCC has guidelines for these shows. It seems that nobody complains about the constant dead people and corpse shots.

The article talks about the media's flashy interpretation of the "news." For the most part we see that much importance is placed in the network's flashy graphics rather than the message they're actually trying to tell. The argument that non-commercial media claims is that real news are non-existent in commercial media.
