Passage 7Television is the most effective brain washing 1 ever invented by man. Advertisers know this to be 2 . Children are 3 by television in ways we 4 understand. In the fall of 1971, I was 5 a story involving a young white woman living on the 6 of Boston's black ghetto. Her car had 7 out of gas. She had gone to a filling station with a can and was returning to her car when she was 8 in an alley by a gang of black youths. The gang poured gasoline over her and set fire 9 her. She died of her burns. It was 10 established that some of the youths 11 had, on the night before the killing, 12 on television a rerun of an old movie in which a drifter is set on fire by an adolescent gang. There is some kind of strange reductive process 13 work here. To see something on television robs it of its reality, and then when the 14 thing is 15 out it is like the reenactment of something unread. 16 when the gang set fire to the girl, they were 17 what they had seen on a screen, 18 they themselves were on a screen, and in a story. I don't think we have 19 begun to realize how powerful a medium television is. It has already become very clear that the candidate with the most television 20 win the election.
