Reality or fake? What is TV today? This question has been
running though my mind. With media companies that seem to control most of the
worlds content it seems to mean that all television content can be considered
fake. Reality TV is seen as “trashy” because of the content it provides, but in
fact this same content is produces from the same production companies that give
you the news and shows. So then you have to ask yourself, why do you see Lindsey
Lohan on every channel. Is it because we as Americans care so strongly about
her and her life or is there more to this? Is there a world of people that are
controlling the content we see. About a year ago, I stopped watching television.
In fact, I only started watching television this past summer during my
internships when I had to watch what news other stations were covering. It is
here that I see the same content being filtered on every channel in different ways.
So why have some much content of the same? Why not leave room for new, innovated
channels that can be found on sites like YouTube.com to make into the main
stream? Why has creativity been shunned upon and destroyed? These and many more
answers I aim to look for and have answered for you all shortly.
