Produced in 1973 [by Richard Serra and Carlotta Ray Schoolman], “Television Delivers People” is a seminal work in the now well-established critique of popular media as an instrument of social control that asserts itself subtly on the populace through “entertainments,” for the benefit of those in power-the corporations that maintain and profit from the status quo. Television emerges as little more than a insidious sponsor for the corporate engines of the world.

A historical lesson for the potential futures of the internets?

Thanks you Nessman for making my day!
