Signal To Noise

ratios will vary and differ
in differently formatted media,
the more visual the razzmatazz
the media you respond to requires,
the weaker the editing of the signal is.

I would advise readers to rediscover
their local and national speech-based
media, or even BBC World Service,
first broadcast in 1932, and first called
the Empure Short Wave Service,
where, with the advent of WWII,
it was revamped, extended, and renamed
the BBC Overseas Service.
It was last renamed BBC World Service in 1965,
when the empire it was was started to speak to
was gone. There, well chosen words in many languages
still paint quieter pictures the listener will remember
long after 
hearing long after the television images
that wash over viewers fade from everyone's memories.
