[QUOTE="jlblonde, post: 1550378, member: 32000"]I majored in broadcasting at college and worked in the television industry here in Hollywood and let me tell you... It stinks! Biased agendas are rife throughout the industry, especially those concerning Czarist Russia, Mexico, Spain and Germany. Accuracy is relative to the biased subject matter. Here's some examples: Czarist Russia - Always portrayed as the last absolute monarchy, backward and inept. Soviet takeover, if not justified, was inevitable. Mexico - A nation of inept mixed race people who's only contribution to the world is music, tequila, and food. No mention of or factual information regarding it's minted coinage being an excepted international currency or how the Mexican civil war was a testing ground for the military tactics used in Europe during WWI. Spain - A nation of blood lusting, gold obsessed, religious fanatics who murdered en mase at will. Germany - Repetition of the horrors of WWII in all docs relating to Germany, reinforcement of the idea that German = fascism/anti-semtism. Not all docs of course tow the party line, but many due reinforce the negative stereotypes of the above mention nations and it's people.[/QUOTE]
