“Big Money, Big Media, Big Trouble” says Marty Kaplan of @LearCenter: Video via @MoyersStaff
Big money and big media have coupled to create a ‘Disney World’ of democracy in which TV shows, televised debates, even news coverage is being dumbed down, just as the volume is being turned up. The result is a public certainly more entertained, but less informed and personally involved than they should be, says Marty Kaplan, director of USC’s Norman Lear Center and an entertainment industry veteran. This weekend on Moyers & Company (check local listings), Bill Moyers talks with Kaplan about how taking news out of the journalism box and placing it in the entertainment box is hurting democracy and allowing special interest groups to manipulate the system.
Tobi Dragert is discussing. 
I want to be a good story teller. I admire my boyfriend for his wit and humor. He is so funny. He can also be such a downer with all his war stories. I am a 33-year-old freelance writer from Winchester, CA. He is a 61-year-old retired Army major with 36 years in the service as a sniper. Some people call him an assassin, but what he did was for God and country. So, storytelling is very important in our family. I love to do it. I love to listen.
