The Crazy Media?

Everyone is trying to get you mind. If they have your mind, they’ve got you. Every day we surrender our thoughts and many times our belief systems to that which is espoused in the media. The styles we adopt. The products we use. The cars we buy. The lies and lives we live. The media affects us tremendously. Why do we allow this to happen? …and sometimes we don’t know it’s happening. I read a book one time called Subliminal Seduction. It tells us the purposeful actions the media has taken to manipulate our minds, and you don't even know about it. This week (4/15) on Called2Action, we’ll talk about this, what is the responsibility of the media in telling the story? How can we work with the media to help to achieve the ends that we’re striving to achieve?

I’ll be inviting some of the leading African American personalities in the media to discuss this topic.
