I'm afraid you still miss the point. It's not some messages that are poisonous, it is the medium - its structure and effect on consciousness, its peer-pressure cooker effect, its addictiveness and on and on. It's the medium, not the message. And you completely miss the meaning of Zappa's point. He assumes the entire news media is slanted and perverted to power's ends! Hoo boy. Tough crowd around here. turtleman
