Kind of related topic:
Have you ever heard of characterization?
The easiest example is M*A*S*H. Who's the doofus on Mash? The white, male, conservative, Bible-toting, incompetant, etc..Frank Burns or Charles Winchester.
Today's commercials that have the doofus exclusively being the white male. (Capital One, some beer commercials, etc..)
Indeed, the WASP is the whipping boy du jour for all the tolerant folks.
Great screen name, we need more like Nast!
[...about the DOOFUS...]
Pardon me for intruding on this thread. I completely
agree with your observation about the image of white
males in TV. Nearly EVERY commercial, the female is
pretty and bright and the boss. Her male partner is
homely and dumb and relies on her for instructions on
how to do everything.
To me... if this chick were so together, she would
have an EQUAL for a mate. To me, she looks like the
loser... too inferior to attract and winner.
Excellent -
About 99.9% of all TV commercials portray any & all male adults as fools
Women (wives & girlriends) and teenagers are all geniuses laughing at the white male jerk (breadwinner)
Who in media, advertising, PR, TV creates, writes, produces, sells, buys this garbage?
Male homos, lesbians, radical liberals, NAMLA scum, ACLU, NAACP types
Back a few years ago at a gay/lesbian national convention of nationwide journalists are little alleged NYT "man" spoke before the convention
He stated that homosexuals at the New York Times were 75% the 99.9% radical lefties at the NTYz that controlled daily "budget meetings", headlines, stories to be covered/ written/ edited/ published, agendas, political bias, editorial page, front page content.
As I know journalists at the NYT and several other large print, TV, and radio entities I am well aware of what they face every day and how the game is rigged.
I know how they think and why; what education most have, how editors and management are chosen and why
In the media you will find the highest rates of drug use/abuse/alcoholism, homosexuality, AIDS rates, employee turnover, divorces, early death rates, "burnout", etc.
Ethics, truth, morality is a joke -
"Scoops", "leaks", "exposes" - all in the radical leftist social and political agenda and rulebook
"I'm studying journalism to change things......" - a typical mindset
Most in the MSM that I have known would toss their grandmather under a bus to get a "good story"
They all are going to "someday write my novel(s)/book(s)"
Going to a dinner party with NYT editors and reporters is a unique experience
Going to a simple social party of press clones is much the same
Can you/we trust the MSM?
Does the MSM trust Bernie Goldberg (CBS), Bob Woodward (WP), Judy Miller (NYT) now?
They trust and stand behind and defend Jason Blair and Walter Durante (both NYT!) more........
A while ago since I wrote for several large newspapers or did TV commercials - and everything is much worse now - witness the tanking subscription and ad numbers and "layoffs/firings"- and the panicky Rather/Mapes style we see now that "creates" or "makes" the news
(no female journalists have been tortured, maimed, injured, killed in the writing this FR post)
This should annoy a few in the media -
