TV IS GOD

“Many people regard the television images of the brutal effort to suppress a crowd of young people marching for freedom in Birmingham as the turning point in the Civil Rights movement. On May 2 and 3, 1963, Police Chief “Bull” Connor’s forces employed watercannons, billy-clubs, and attack-dogs to try and suppress the peaceful crowd. The events in Birmingham shocked the millions of Americans who watched it replayed on television. Only a year later, Congress passed and President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

UPDATE

If TV is god, then people with money are god's best friends. For Example,
