Ralf Anders Wrote:It is a brilliant programme. The makers of the programme have recently been sued by two journalists from DIE ZEIT for pointing out their relations to the trans-Atlantic network in an earlier installment. Apart from this, here in Germany it is indeed "endless media BS", indoctrination, propaganda etc. But there are signs of hope: Recently an advisory council to the ARD (public broadcaster) harshly critizised the ARD's coverage of events in Ukraine. This was barely reported, though... Ralf P.S. How on earth do I separate the paragraphs? Help would be much appreciated.
It's a strange thing Ralf. In the UK where we've had a very long history of political satire dating back well over a hundred years, there is not a single TV programme these days that gets close. There are, admittedly a few publications around still, like Private Eye - but even that seems to me to have lost its cutting edge. It's a real loss imo.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
