People on TV

TV people must be strange, though. How else would they fit in there and still be able to move around and breathe and stuff?
 
There are minds that seem to be predisposed to this sort of thing. They live amongst us. They've "done their research" so there's no arguing or presenting logic or reason into the discussion. Their cognitive dissonance will not allow for it.

One of many. I live in a religious town where people push it in your face. I push back.

(I'm an atheist.)
 
I'm in a few movies. They have my trapped soul in them. I wasn't asked to pledge allegiance to any demons or whatever, but I did sign a few contracts and release forms.
 
Well, everything and everybody on tv is fake.

Even the talking heads are fake.

On tv, even "reality" is fake.

I don't think they are Satanists, though. Just mono dimensional characters, overly simplified to make story telling less difficult.

Real stories are hard to tell.

I primarily watch Netflix and BritBox. There is rarely anything on mainstream TV in the US that I have any interest in although sometimes PBS has good documentaries.

Did you ever see pictures of famous people, like, say, George Washington, posing dramatically?

IRL - everybody shouting "Sit down you idiot! This is an overloaded rowboat!"
 
I wish I could list the names, but I've written for 7 different "reality" shows since about 2011. What really, really happens is coming up with situations, securing permits and release forms that all parties are okay with whatever happens in the heat of the moments, and that's that. People will do anything for money, basically. A certain talk show pioneered it best. Those were some wild times.

I've often found the folks that say "Do the research", or as you put it claim they've "done their research", are usually the least capable of actually doing the critical thinking needed in proper research and being able to sort out good information sources from bad.
