Guest ctrl+alt+del Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 only part i found interesting; The practice of secretly inserting government endorsed propaganda messages in TV shows is alive and well. For example the press disclosed in 2000 (Salon.com broke the story in “Prime-Time Propaganda,” January 14, 2000) that the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy was providing TV networks a financial incentive to have shows include anti-drug messages. Network censors (the Standards and Practices Department) review scripts before a show to avoid including anything that goes beyond their rules of acceptable content. The networks were (are? it isn’t clear the practice has stopped) submitting scripts that might fit the government’s needs. The government would suggest where a line or gesture could be inserted and what the actor might say or do. The anti-drug message could be as simple as a brief show of disgust at a drug related medical crisis. If things worked out, the network got credit that allowed it to run fewer Public Service Announcements (PSAs). Running a paid ad in place of giving a PSA free airtime is a worthwhile incentive. The shows tampered with included ER, Chicago Hope, Home Improvement, Beverly Hills 90210, Cosby, General Hospital and several others. The practice began in late 1997 when Congress passed a five-year, $1 billion project to put more anti-drug messages on television. Are the hidden anti-drug references in TV shows any more or less devious than advertisers paying movie producers to include their products on their sets? This sneaky practice is known as product placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus of Nazareth Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Buuuump. I'm interested to see what various shady tactics they are using these days without our knowing... I look forward to having a bitter taste in my mouth when (hopefully) at least a portion of that information is brought to light in the future.
