Technically the news, a cooking show, 60 minutes, a football game,
sitcoms and Broadway musicals: All are "staged realities". I don't care
for them, but I'm human and the lurid has its way of beckoning.
Fortunately it's ability to do this wanes.

I just got through reading "Believing is Seeing" be Errol Morris we
generally deals with realites and their stagings; how we came to
images with our own beliefs and confer them on the images. The most
fascinating read I've had in many years.
