Dear Father,
American TV here, as always, exaggerates everything, with headlines like “Is Iran Collapsing?”(CNN) and other methods to keep the masses watching. It is almost painful for me to watch five minutes of the sensationalistic, cliched, context-less bunkum they feed people round the clock—which is, of course, about advertising dollars, nationalism and the corporate America’s genius at peddling the inferior at the very lowest common denominator.
