The USA people knew we had a Fox News problem, every person in USA since year 1996 has had the experience of encountering Fox News audience members. Now in USA 2025, that problem has destroyed all goodness. Fiction cults. Hate Abounds ; Dehumanization Abounds
People witnessed others who were in the cult of fiction, Fox News audience, it was a common experience in USA for the past 20 years (since year 2005). We knew and experienced that fiction storytelling was a problem.
Society had to have weaknesses. There has to be problems that didn't get the proper attention and understanding. Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" described the Fox News HDTV problem ELEVEN YEARS BEFORE. 1985 book describing October 1996 Fox News problems. We had education, we had prevention for ELEVEN YEARS in the 1985 book... but we, as a society, We The People, could only keep up with so many topics. Inforamtion overload, running out of time in the race with all the advances in technology and media.
Something had to blow up in our face. The Fox News year 1996 issue, the experience of Fox News audiences favoring fiction storytelling... we all had that around us. It grew and grew and grew, and then the year 2013 Russian Internet Research Agency media messages of fiction storytelling added to the Fox News audience fiction addictions.
That is how we got where we are today in October 2025. That's the forest for the trees. We couldn't keep up on every issue, and the issue we didn't keep up on was a 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" by Neil Postman.
Now We The Nation, United States of America, EVERYONE - not just MAGA, not just White Housse, EVERYONE - even people too young to vote, even non-voters. We are now here, and we do not know why.
Now you are here and you don't know why, we as a nation, don't know why ... past the palces like Fox News year 1996, where you used to learn... Neil Postman said all the right things in 1985, but Postman means nothing to you in October 2025, and you don't know why... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZoD8JEFjAE
"there are some things so dear, some things so precious, some things so eternally true that they're worth dying for. And if a man happens to be 36 years old, as I happen to be, and some great truth stands before the door of his life, some great opportunity to stand up for that which is right, he's afraid his home will get burned, or he's afraid that he will lose his job, or he's afraid that he will get shot or beat down by state troopers. He may go on and live until he's 80, but he's just as dead at 36 as he would be at 80. And the cessation of breathing in his life is merely the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. He died... A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Fiction is not true. Fiction is fiction. Fox News is fiction. Truth Social is fiction. We have a fiction addiction problem. "A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The fiction vs. nonfiction favoring of media content. The monomyth fiction crisis. Neil Postman, Marshall McLuhan, MLK Jr, James Joyce - https://youtu.be/rZoD8JEFjAE?t=165 EVERYONE IS WATCHING Donald Trump on the World Stage, look at the Fox News audience, look at Donald Trump the member of society who adores Fox News since year 1996.
Screenplay, where next We The People, where next the Mass Man of USA. What are we going to teach the world of over 8 billion people, what do we have to share?
Can we all sing Neil Postman's 184 pages and get on the same page and blame a 1985 book comprehension as our problem? Let a dead man's 1985 words speak for us and admit our media addiction issues and compusive attraction to Donald Trump playing President Tony Clifton the Entertainment POTUS? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZGRW-T2Vgk
