i live in france. i know, why would i do that anyway, i was discussing international politics with a group of europeans who claimed that they were politically educated and that americans were not. it came down to this. every single one of them consumed corporate media in various forms. they listened to the radio in the morning before work. they read the newspaper regularly during the day and they watched television news at night before bedtime. they were all basing their political education on mainstream information and propaganda produced by the corporate and governmental sectors of their countries. they claimed that i was politically educated only because they agreed with most of my viewpoints. even the americans that i completely disagree with consume the same mainstream corporate news information and propaganda that the europeans do. they have the same habits of listening, reading, and watching m-produced information. the only difference is the source slant and geographical location ie, which channel, le, and frequency they prefer. i concluded the discussion by telling them that they were the european version of the american joe shmoe. they are not politically educated. they can merely parrot back their brand of rhetoric as digested during the spoon feeding times. check your tv guide for details. please visit the following sites for the transcript or other controversial material: citizenrebelconfesses.blogspot citizenrebelperforms.blogspot ltbgt...lt bgt
