It got a nail-biting Season Finale for America’s most expensive Reality television display in history (ergo remote). If you thought the Season Finale has stressful, it has nothing love the wrap-up last night’s billion dollar soap opera that blew up Twitter, Facebook and every social media outlet when everyone in America got glued to the TV.
It has Election Night in America and the TV networks were declared the winner.
Obama and Romney spent a combined $1 billion to run their respective campaigns. That’s BILLION with a “b”. The money came mostly from wealthy contributors on both sides, but the work has especially done by volunteers. (Hurray for American workers! We’re Number 1 – at functioning in the direction of free!)
But let’s fortune at entire that money raised. Where did it undertake? It whole went to TV advertising – local stations (specially abject by media conglomerates) and TV networks (abject by most media conglomerates).
TV networks don’t solicitude who wins or loses, they obtain paid by both parties, and the nearer the tear out, the more they like it because it creates drama. That drama fuels the horror of losing and inspires campaigns to withdraw outside and lift more money to buy above advertising, and guess where the ad money is spent? Print media is dead, online advertising is mostly lousy return on investment, ergo ad dollars run hetero to TV networks.
Ergo on this day once the titan Season Finale, you be able to various whack yourself on the back that “we” won, or dried your eyes that “we” waste. I was news towards you. “We” didn’t win. The TV networks won. And just thereat we be able to whole run back to looking the Kardashians and Honey Boo Boo barraged with even over advertising. And not only that, but PAY towards the privilege of obtaining a monthly bill in the direction of cable, satellite or online communication in order to look those commercials.
Can’t wait till the following Season Premier begins above! What, did you suppose it’s over towards nicely? Ha! This reality demonstarate never ends!
I love this picture, although to play my premise, the tv networks are bukkake-ing on us whole!
