6. And there's the key
"It is the type of person who has no more of a reaction to the day of remembered tragedy as to any other photo-op, the one who has no conscience, no interest, for whom everything is just a TV show, and all is reduced to sameness; a sociopath for whom the world only exists as a mirror to reflect them, an audience to applaud them, or servants to handle the real work for them. The world of slogans has no relation whatsoever to the world of public service and historical meaning, but they don't care. They win by brutal oppression and crime, then claim they won by "their wits" or by "being popular." Everything they do is a lie, on every day".

"...no more of a reaction to the day of remembered tragedy as to any other photo-op....everything is just a TV show,...a sociopath for whom the world only exists as a mirror to reflect them, an audience to applaud them...The world of slogans has no relation whatsoever to the world of public service and historical meaning, but they don't care.....Everything they do is a lie, on every day."

Let's boil it down some more..........

Photo-op, TV show, reflect them, audience, slogans, lie, every day....................

All of this brought to you BY..... Television!!! The VidScreen!! They can even see YOU through the hitech screens now.........

What if we all turned off The Box? Totally? All of us.

No arguments about ratings and who's got a Neilsen box or not and whether boycotts are effective or not......

All of us.

The only way that this regime is possible and the only way it continues and the only way it was installed in the first place is by the power of Television.

Our refusal to pay attention would get their attention.

Re: Framing. The people who go for that know that it's bullshit/marketing even while they insist that it is "truth." It's the same game of assuming that everyone ELSE is the duped sucker sheeple type that needs to be coddled and hoodwinked into comprehending "truth" which framing reduces to mere "truthiness." And they haven't figured out that they will NEVER beat the lying cheating Roveheads at their own game.

What Olbermann is doing that blows everyone (and the mirrored smoke) away is telling Truth. The opposite of framing.
