Less of a hive mind and more of a bunch of heads all fighting with each other with their own self determined interests. The amount of autonomy in US TV News would surprise you lol.
Russia on the other hand is a joke. As you described in the Soviet era except with extra steps with government controlled state tv channels.

I'm not surprised lol. Glad to see someone else intro recording live news broadcasts. Did you ever upload your tapes by chance? Either way the slow increase for sure was a physiological attention grabbing thing more then anything. Purely an interest in viewership if anything and that is understandable being a for profit news org.Glen_Glog wrote:Network is OK not really about TV news job but other films Broadcast News and Christine give a very accurate picture of the industry and the personalities at least for affiliate stations even today.I hyperventilate when I watch the news.
I recorded 12 hours of live Fox News during the Iraq Shock and Awe campaign and they kept increasing the red saturation on the Chyrons and graphics over time noticeable by fast forwarding the tape lol

Everything is propaganda if you think so. Nothing is completely objective and any attempt will inevitably fall under a subjective world view, thus fitting the criteria of propaganda by it's definition. Also it must be emphasized that most large orgs have interests of the self rather to control the people outside of what is needed if at all, and def not to the extent you are insinuating. The interests is usually money, more so to gain profits as well as to literally keep such orgs and power structures stable and living. The interest is autonomous for the most part as all other large parties are fighting against each other for their own self interests instead of some supposed cartel like cooperation at some extreme level. I supposes this does occur at a certain level, but once more not at the one you are insinuating.arvy wrote:Flory wrote:arvy wrote:Cool .

Also, growing up in a prosperous western country enabled the brothers to make a living as musicians, rather than doing drudge work in a factory. Also, none of the music, TV shows, or films that inspired Boards of Canada to make art would exist without the 'West.' In summary, it would be more than a little absurd for Boards of Canada to be 'anti-west.'

Gonna be honest other then the names of the songs I never thought how TH would have something to do with anything more in depth then some vague meanings of an impending doom followed by some sort of rebirth of a new. Perhaps I just never gave TH a serious thought into what it actually means, if it does at all in any specific way.SonicDimension wrote:Yes, and the one track title that’s in Russian translates to ‘Seeds of the Dead.” It’s obviously a reference to the fear of nuclear annihilation during the Cold War era. What does this have to do with an ‘anti-west’ perspective? The album was influenced by American films of the 1970’s from what I’ve read. I think that the album is more connected to the dread and paranoia of the modern US culture than to anything about the USSR or Russia.
