<p dir="auto">The recent Presidential election showed exactly what this film showed; Substance, intelligence, critical thinking loses out to rants and innuendos. The American public wants the sizzle, not the steak. Back then it was television that was the controllertoday it's the internet in addition to television; Facebook, Twitter now form the direction of the American people; combined with the banality of the talking heads and the subverviseness of the government and corporations.</p>

<p dir="auto">I completely agree  TV was just the tip of the digital wedge. It's not merely that more people are uninformed &amp; poorly educated, it's that they know it &amp; are actually proud of it.</p>
