TV viewers can’t discern fact from fiction

-

Make-believe world becomes reality in their shallow brains, writes Peter Bachtis.

Recently, numerous letters of complaint have been published in a variety of publicatio­ns about the scripts of certain TV programmes, in particular 7de Laan.

Are these people insane? The make-believe world of TV becomes reality in their shallow brains.

TV and cinema have created anomalies in society, never before encountere­d by mankind, as many are unable to discern fact from fiction.

Prior to TV, books were read, people gathered and communicat­ed, dialogue was a part of daily life and extended families and friends went on picnics.

The putrid box controls the minds of the foolish and feeble minded.
