When Silence Is Not Absence

Many millions of people live out their days
as if they have nothing to say,
and they have plenty of time to say it,
when it is more the case
that the media they accept
scripts so well what they want said
that they can find no point in mouthing
what their media has thought for them.

New Definitions

The News - telling the masses repeatedly, and at length,
what they can no longer do anything about.
Counsels of despair disguised as information.

Television And The Movies

have always been about kitsch.
Radio also trades in images that fade with repetition.
The more reliable the ease of reproduction
and more increased the means,
and the more those artful  images
that promptly have to pay for themselves,
promptly wear thin the minds of those taking them in.

The BBC reporting on The London Olympics
has truly raised the bar on cliche
-to the level of being unwatchable.
