How To Watch TV News By Neil Postman and Revised by Steve Power

Now, here is a reason why we either need to protest to get rid of shows that display explicit content or we just block those shows overall. "On the day Marilyn Monroe committed suicide, so did many other people, some of whom may have had reasons as engrossing as, and perhaps more significant than, Miss Monroe's." Why is it that when one famous person dies, it means we all as a population should do so forth. No, I dont believe so. Eventhough I love Micheal Jacksons music and movies, when he died I didnt feel the need to jump off the next highest building or overdose. That person has their own reasoning to why they chose to take their own life, but who are we to say , " Because shes gone, then I should go to" even if the only way of knowing them was through television and tabloids. Its not right. And for all those who was merely a coincidence to die on the same day as Marilyn Monroe, the press and news would not see their individual side but see it as an act of compassion towards Monroe. And the true stories still lie some where with their families and friends. Even with themselves.
