Description The idea popped into my head as i was doing my English HSC trial exam, writing about telling the truth and how the media feeds us information. Mostly biased and unreliable, people lap this information up not questioning it.

have you noticed this?

Really enjoying the sepia tone on this one. Seriously take a minute and tweak that reflection issue though, because other than that this is perfect.

Decarabia69 [2008-08-23 14:51:20 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely LOVED this work and especially the concept that the TV media doesn't always have our best interests at heart. People NEVER seem to question the reliability of sources on television and that very fact is exploited by the media for various nefarious purposes from selling us things we don't need to pushing political agenda.

It would be completely ironic for television to teach SKEPTICAL thinking as it's the one thing that is most needed among the beguiled.

Pakaku [2008-08-23 06:40:48 +0000 UTC]

I think the TVs look too similar :B The reflections look the same except mirrored, and they look angled the same (even though they're rotated)

Other than that, I like it a lot ;3

i was hoping no one would realise the reflections looked the same ...i might get to fixing that soon.
