We live in time of particular social systems that we have to necessarily adapt to it. To understand the society in which we live, we must have the mass media to help us that the society in which we are inserted or put in, if you want without a personal choice, we understand and those they understand our problems. Because, what does mean the fact that we can watch on TV, for example the distant areas, be informed about tsunamis, avalanches, floods, and we do not understand what happens in our environment, our cities and our political establishments. Neither we, nor they can remain in Adorno-shape ivory towers, it is time to open our eyes, or at least look at each other without feeling mutual blame for the state of mind in the society in which we live and which nevertheless we make it together. We all feel that there is something wrong between the media - state or vice versa, if you want, but no one speaks loudly, because that something has become - a state of mind, passive voice in the language, but also the sociological sense! This mutual passive voice takes too long, so long that either one or the other does not feel the closeness, intimacy, or at least a little respect, that the media and the state should do the same work, to build the state, to build love among the citizens of the country or the auditorium of the media, to have the same goal - to make our environment better, or at least a little bit more beautiful! But, when you carefully analyze any media (electronic, print or new media), you will always see and feel mutual intolerance as if it is not the same geographic and social milieu! No, I do not think we should idealize each other, but certainly I think we should not demonize each other!
