Its time to tell you a secret of TV that people tend to overlook and really misunderstand.
All aspects of promotion, production, and look in a series, news franchise, docuseries and other such are forms of art.
These arts are tools of force projection of the person using it.

So when one builds a lower third, the CGI graphics for intros into sports to news, to the building of sets and lighting - you get to see the tools built to force project gravitas. At times it doesnt work, and in other times it takes one to a time and place that is unforgettable.

#Toonami's greatest success, and ECW's greatest success and many other successes was the responsible use of technology and art and the way they spoke to their audiences without belittling them or putting them down or insulting their intelligence

What has happened that the people who now work in these industries with some of the greatest tools ever devised. don't have the gravitas, nor the professionalism to handle these tools. Because of this, the industries that have made these tools no longer care to update said tools.

We also have a gigantic problem. The same entertainment and news mediums, have hired people who educational attainment doesn't match their intelligence. Tools being fabricated for those who dont know how they work. Stance, Posture, Grammar, Scale, Its called now Supremacy.

This is a lie. Everyone can use these tools if they how they work. But because College, Trade and University courses and teachers and syllabi are controlled by a malevolent corporate structure out of Silicon Valley, a disillusioned Government apparatus out of DC and others:

The students come out of these colleges, especially from J-School, Social Sciences, Humanities, and increasingly and most disappointingly from STEM, are beyond ill-equipped to handle basic challenges of work and life and relationships.

This is why a Quinn Norton and a Sarah Jeong who both knew weev, both working with the Tor Project, can get jobs even though their morality and their intelligence and ethical mindset are deeply suspect.

The people who now commission the building these sets, these lower thirds, these intros, Graphics Packages and so on, are giving these tools to underqualified and overmatched people who know nothing about the world outside a 30 mile radius within the coastal and liberal cities.

This is the reason why ratings un masse are down for a lot of series, news programs and shows. The people given these tools aint shit. They quit when the going gets tough, do selfies during disasters, and when their detractors find out they use it to great success to say:

"The media aint shit"
"Fake News"
"We know russia did it right, come on please russia did this!"

I want to end with this. And it really shows why I believe that Hollywood and its connections and the way it does its movies and some such will exist past 2020,
If a 3 Trillion Dollars Industry supported somebody and that person didnt win, despite their best efforts?

What would that three trillion dollar industry do to the person that did win?
What would they use all these tools for?
And what happens when they dont get what they want?
Yall in huge trouble if you dont learn to not insult the intelligence of your audience.
