There’s a reason why they don’t show slaughter houses on tv. There’s a reason why they don’t discuss spanking in any great depth with inference to evidence, routine infant circumcision, how to resolve interpersonal conflicts, or even how to reason. It’s because there is a big taboo on television. And it’s not on discussing the bankers, or ‘exposing the people who are really pulling the strings.’ The biggest taboo on television is not the corruption of politicians, bankers, or corporations. They are fair game. Broadcasting them is unlikely to inspire much change. That’s all still divide and conquer – us vs them……. The biggest taboo on television is you. Anything that might question or challenge your personal habits or ethics and make you have to make changes in your own life. That’s taboo. That’s not allowed. People will complain.
