I truely believe that cenosring the media heavily will rid this nation of its problems. How you ask? Here is how, using the power of Hollywood and radio, we gradually get all the people on the same page about our great nation. Once everyone is on the same page about our countries state, there will be no one to voice any problems. Through media manipulation we get the people to believe this is UTOPIA and will never get better or worse. For an extra safe guard, only positive vibes can be sent out. Thoughts?







P.S. I know this doest directly solve any problems, but it does solve them indirectly.

So you really think that if a problem is just not allowed to be recognized or spoken about that it goes away? Seriously?

That kind of thinking sounds like a child who believes they become invisible to everyone else when they cover their own eyes and cannot see.

And which groups ideals will be the ones pushed out to the American people? Which UTOPIA?

Like this one in San Francisco?



What you suggest has already been done by all the socialist monopolies and in the end they have failed.

Agree. Iraq war would have went much smoother if the media had not been allowed to zoom in on every movement to contact.
Just one minor example.

Not only is the idea absurd, it is impossible in the age of the internet. Unless the US wants to intervene in internet traffic like China does, it will be impossible to censor the expression of different ideas. The line between media ("ABC, CBS, etc.") and citizens (bloggers, wiki) is blurry as hell and I see no way that a government body can do it. I do not like the manipulation of the information I get via the mainstream media, but the government would make it worse.
