And what Noam says is related to a global influence. The global wickedness of the United States, but if you take it to an individualistic level, the corruption is much more evident and intense.

To say the media is propangandistic is an extreme euphimism I suspect you are all American and that is why you are debating something so extremely obvious. I suspect the reason you debate this is because of the insular nature of your lives. Most of you are probably mono-linguistic and likely have little reference to the outside world other than what you see on TV. I am by no means condeming you for this.

But if you are a fish in a fish bowl, then you can hardly speak of the world outside. And the American media helps to keep you as stupfied as is humanly possible.

All major entities in the United States i.e. the health care industry, the media, and the military industrial complex, work in tandem.

Thus, in order to make the American moron even more apathetic about the violence in the world, they create generation after generation of gratuitous violence in the media so as to de-sensitize the public to the horrors commited in the name of freedom and democracy.

Constantly, we hear of atrocious crimes such as the recent case of a 19 year old male murdering a nanny that responded to an ad on craigslist.

And the media people who are themselves diseased work very hard to manipulate this media in racist ways as well, always diminishing culpability based on race so that the racial discriminatory nature of the societal structures remain firmly in place.

It's crime layered upon crime. And all of this works against the society. The very people the society seeks to assure of dominance themselves are victims as well.

Because they believe ( the so-called whites) that the are entitled and that they are white, they then adhere more closely to the propanda and stupification that the media perpetuates.

Thus you see these morons everywhere seeking to become like the characters they see in the media.

So it is no coincidence that the corruption of the person is so pervasive and particularly offensive.

It is a nation of violence prone, narcoleptic imbeciles who in their ignorance allow and legitimize the status quo.

Give them bread and circus.
