I'm astonished that there are people who can think that at any age. Kids are either too young even to understand the concepts involved or too old to believe in Santa Claus. It might be culture-dependent.
Maybe I'm too naive in believing that somebody can sincerely write about the presumed right way good media should work.
It just takes a belief in common human decency and fairness. Not that unreasonable if you ask me. As she describes it, these producers are basically fraudsters, taking real events, warping them to fit their own desired story, and then portraying it as a real account of what happened. Fraud should not be considered the norm.
I agree from a moral point of view. But Nature doesn't know should or shouldn't it either is or is not. And it doesn't require many observations to see what the business practices in the media are.
It would be unusual to expect faithfulness from a prostitute; she doesn't make the rules.
It may be a local or even a global maxima for them, but I don't think it's inevitable, and I certainly don't think that it's a net positive for the country. I think they're creating huge negative externalities with their current mode of doing business. Regulation would be very tricky due to the whole freedom of speech, but maybe the Govt. could fund some higher quality competition to get the media focused on a less crappy MO.
I think this is a credible statement given that fact that participants didn't sign up for a reality TV show -- they signed up for a start-up incubator!
