Hedge's points underscore a very important aspect of how information is being presented and brings to mind questions about whose best interests are being served by corporate media.
When information devolves into entertainment, then, as he was saying, it ceases to function primarily as a means to convey important information across a rich, broad spectrum. Instead we get a Simulation where a highly polished, narrow window on what is going on is presented in ways that captivate attention and even detract from vital facts that don't serve corporate interests or can even be detrimental to the chartered regime in place.
When you notice the number of well-paid, bobble-head pundits discussing an issue taking precedence over an omnibus report of various news items, it becomes clear that, rather than thinking critically and deciding for yourself what the news you have received means and what the impact is, you lean back and listen to "experts" and sundry opinion givers do it for you. It is an invitation to passive reception of a scripted reality where you eventually end-up losing more than you gain in many, many ways.
