THE "WAYNE'S WORLD" SYNDROME |
An Entitlement Psychosis
in this Media Age |
WELCOME TO THE 500-CHANNEL ARENA.
Our most expensive Radio
Research revealed most people don't really care what The Prize isthey
just want to hear Their Name broadcast over the air. Their Face
mugging behind a Live Remote. Everybody believes they deserve to be
Famous. "Color" coverage in News, Sports, and Politics thrive on outspoken
zealots parroting misinformation from the Society of Spin, elevated to
"serious" National Dialog. The success of Talk Radio and Trash TV depends on
the Deadly Sins of Vanity and Voyeurism. We do espouse a ShowBiz Reality, but
the Information Industry today is acting more like bread-and-circus Pro
Wrestlers. |
ARMED WITH ALTERNATIVE MEDIA
The best defense is a strong
offense. The only way to protect your valued Public Image is to feed the hungry
Media Monster before it growls your Name. |
