Wake up America!

This episode of The Mark Show, an independently produced video log by Mark Reiley, addresses freely the ever pressing issues of media bias. Reiley approaches this topic in a manner that is both stimulating and thought provoking in its visual and auditory composition. In the video, entitled “#7 Media Bias and iPhone Home!”, Mr. Reiley uses the coming release date of Apple’s new Iphone (Friday, June 29th) as a clever lead in to a discussion of the day Friday and its significance to the modern press release. The video is used as well to address the effects of a big media on overall public perception and to poke fun at the stupidity of those topics which have commonly become a focal point of media interest.

Because of Friday’s fixed position on our weekly calendar, it is consistently realized as the last of our weekdays to fall before a seemingly less productive stretch of time known as the weekend. This cluster of days, which has been historically dedicated to the pursuit of total relaxation, is a time of repose in the process of American thought, according to Mark Reiley. He presents a notion, that those press releases of true controversy, the bits of knowledge which are most likely to instill anger against the establishment or induce political fervor in the hearts of our people, are intentionally given on a Friday instead of earlier in the week. He suggests that this choice of days is anything but coincidental and is in fact a tactic, used by those in power to better the chances of such pertinent and damning information going unnoticed by the public.

Reiley also points, by referencing the massive amounts of attention that is given to the trivial happenings of celebrity life in our media, to the way that Americans are currently distracted, disconnected from those matters which are of true importance to reality. A people who have become enchanted, paralyzed by the sorcery of advertising and coercion that is fed to them constantly.

This video log is a prime example of how use of the Internet as a publishing tool can surmount the overwhelming bias of a corrupt media. Because of the freedom of our Internet, Mark Rieley may present his ideas to the entire world without having first to run his convictions through a filter of power interest. This ability, this freedom, is what gives us now the power to change the condition of our people. With a muscle of independent mass publishing made available online, a citizen need not to rely on their accretion of knowledge being tied to a corrupt system of greed. The people may now instead, browse an extensive network of knowledge and analyze a broad range of perspective to form their own opinions.

The time has come and now more than ever our action is imperative. We must compel the people of our nation to turn off their televisions and pursue other forms of education. The tube has become little more than a vehicle of connection to the corrupt media establishment, a business which seeks only to increase its inflow of profit in whatever way possible. It has become an invasive and persuasive tool for implanting adulterated information into the minds of American citizens and misconstruing their perception of reality. This ignorance must be stopped America! Abandon your dependence on big media and leave your homes in pursuit of knowledge. Go out into the world and find truth for yourself, because that information you will gather independently is in fact the only information in which you can truly trust.
