The Media Matrix: How propaganda and mass media are impacting America's contact with reality

1. Absolutely essential learning

I had a class like this in high school. Probably the most valuable class of all I took during those years.

2. Best thing I have seen on DU in a while.

3. we all think we know this, but it is so prevalent and we slip into the matrix so easily

that it becomes necessary to review these realities on a continuing basis. thanks for posting.

4. Wow!

This was sooooo good. So educational, and he's so right on so many levels. I wish there was a way to make this mandatory for all kids it school to watch, and all adults at home.

Thanks for posting this! I started watching, not realizing how long it was, but once started, I could not stop. Just fascinating and compelling.

One thing about the Iraq war. I knew before we went to war with Iraq, that it was a lie and the wrong thing to do, and I knew who was behind it. I was not very political yet...I was just getting into it after 9/11. 9/11 shattered my obliviousness to reality...but the reason I knew the war was wrong is because I moved here in late 96, and I lost my ability to watch television. I tried everything I could, but just couldn't get reception out here. So once I bought my first PC (sometime around 99 or 2000) I had a different source of news and information.

The reason I knew the war was a lie is because I was no longer hooked to the matrix and instead I was reading news on my PC, from legitimate sources, and politically involved sources like DU, and not from TV newscasters (entertainers).

I know most people can't live without their TV. I now can't even stand to be in a room with one on. I am so glad I lost that umbilical cord that kept me hooked to the matrix.

Now I need to watch more of this guy's videos.

6. If we refuse to be part of that matrix, does that make us Neo?

Joking aside: this is great. Thanks for posting it.

9. A very important presentation.

And he just gave a few examples of something far greater than could be covered in a reasonable time.
When you look closely at it, the matrix is all around us.

10. Very Interesting

11. My antidote

Nurturing connections to nature and people....in the flesh.
Meditation, art, music....all great connection mediums.
Greatly reduced time online or with media.

12. As good a way to stare at a screen for an hour

as can be found.

AND........ an unsolicited ad for all that Bernie and his faithful (like me!) are rising up against. And Bernie isn't even hinted at in this vid.

Watch it - watch it - watch it!
