Media Frenzy on GMA transfer to VLMC

Filosofo Tasio Lives

There is so much uproar over the undue attention given to fmr President who was transferred from SLMC to VLMC.

For one, it is the job of media to hype an event so that the story will sell copies; it is their job;

It is but natural for anyone who goes to jail or is detained to be treated fairly and better than others especially if they are better of in life.  It is a fact of life.  GMA can demand that as a citizen (it is one of the rights of the accused) and as former President, a lot of officials owe their current positions.  We are a grateful people right.

And everywhere, we know money talks.  Even in jails

We Spend too much time at Circus

Filosofo Tasio Lives

We love circus and spectacles.  We love events.  Media and marketing people know this and you can count on them that they will exploit this to the hilt.  The more sensational, the more weird, the better.  The spectacle could be uplifting, but most of them are not.  We call it trending too.

The Roman emperors capitalized on this to make Roman populace happy.  So we had gladiators.  The more gory and bloody, the better.  It went on and on.  Even up to now.

So we feed on media frenzy.  And we spend too much time and energy devouring the spectacles.(Or you can substitute beauty contests, boxing, politics, and basketball)  Why worry?  Be happy.

And we lose track of the more important aspects of nation building.  We get lost.

We spend too much time at the circus.(or at the coliseum)
