Re:reply on illusion - 2007/08/27 23:56
Thank you for bringing this up and giving us a chance to see the problem in a different way. I'll go first with:
The Illusion of Media,
Media pretends to show us the world as it is. It does not. It cannot. Nothing can show us the world as it is. If we are enligthened, we can simple see and watch without colouring the world with our own thinking. Most people do not do this.
That means, when an incident is happening, every person is going to see it differently. Each of us takes different histories, expectations and assumptions into an event. This determines what we focus on. What we focus on is what we see. We can even completely miss seeing things that we are not focused on.
The media is a bunch of people, like any of us, who have gone in to an event not only with their own focus, bringing their own histories, expectations and assumptions, but also those of their office, bosses and coworkers. They are not trained to see with detachment. They are not given courses in separating out their own expectations and agendas from reality. On top of that, they need to meet deadlines and other journalistic goals, like creating an exciting story that 'people will read'.
They gather their information according to these limitations. Their story is further limited by the editing process, (piecing the story together so it flows well) and the restrictions on how much time they have to tell the story, etc.
We watch what comes out the other end. By then, it has been so processsed that it is not at all what actually happened.
As we see more and more of these stories, we build up a picture in our minds of what the world is like, what's going on in the world. But all these pictures have been poor representations, at best. They are all illusions. We have added illussions to illussions to build up a picture that itself must be an even bigger illusion.
I've spent a large part of my career in journalism. This problem of journalists creating illusions that everyone then assumes is true is why I quit. There are not presently good solutions to this problem. But I am working on one.
