Rated F

Of all the traditions, it is sad that sedition has such a popular role in the media’s apparent mission. Displaying the nation with violence and harm is a cause for concern and alarm. While we are cautioned to avoid depicting fact, have we turned to absurdity, insult and cruelty as a tactic for entertaining? What about the creative movement toward playing-up that which is legal, non-violent, pleasant and kind? I wish for a media make-believe that supports artistic license for patriotic vision. Rated F for Freedom: no laws broken.* It must be a given that the narrow scope of media is insufficient to shape a Worldview. Media is so good for articulating agreements, entertaining and sharing information, though even true stories and politics are spun and edited to fit the time allotted. Even with consensual contracts and clever choreography, as it is, media does not present a model for life. Arcing storylines are often habituated toward crisis, media can not be counted on for the truth nor adequate conflict resolution. Media might not lead us to heaven by the hand, but it does help us to communicate, sometimes. Make meaningful media choices... DEMAND AND SUPPLY.
