Malcolm Muggeridge

#2

1977

"First, the basic theme of these lectures is Muggeridge's conviction that the media (particularly television) has had an extremely negative effect on our civilization, and that this effect can only be expected to grow. In other words, he sees television not as something neutral which can be used for good or ill. Instead he sees it always tending toward evil, not good. The technical complexities, necessity of editing, and the demands of the public make the television producer turn reality into fantasy. Is he right? Is television beyond redemption? Whether or not he is right, he will make us think." --from the Foreword by Billy Graham.
