You don’t own a TV ? Then what is all your furniture pointed At ?
-Joey Tribbiani
This probably is the most appropriate description of our TeleVision hypnotized society .
Food for thought.
A cliché phrase. Isn't it ?!?! Try to listen it as thought for food and keep brooding over it. By the end of it, your grey cells will get all the shit We intend to precipitate on your minds. :P .Thought and food, the two key things impossible to live without, and really very necessary to be digested properly and almost impossible to decide for their quality by looks, taste and smell except if they are from mom (hostellers stop smiling) .
Ok, we first see it for food. We either get food at restaurant or else we bring all the ingredients home and cook ourselves. As a matter of fact the latter one goes healthier for most of us. The 'bahar ka khana' doesn't suit most of us as a regular practice. Putting this analogy to the Information System, what is obtained as a conclusion is mainstream mass media and a majorly subterranean internet media. The way it is generated and the manner in which it is consumed is just like food. But here consumption is more interesting aspect and something that we will be talking more about. While selecting a restaurant or any outside eatery we take caution and considerations of its hygiene and off course taste. But hygiene and quality is still prior. Why then not, shall we iterate the same while selecting , where to consume information from.
Television and other mainstream media, just like restaurant is serving as one stop outlet for informative entertainment about what, how and why is everything happening so, out there in the world. Fuelled by money and motivated by profit they most often put usefulness of an information in jeopardy by practicing insensitivity towards its integrity. Another way of understanding world is through internet and our elders. With so many perspectives to anything and everything , it’s a sane probability for us to arrive on the best correct interpretation of people ,events and things. It is more like preparing food at home, although more effort goes, but result is that its intentionally and nutritionally well balanced .
So, can an imbalanced information intake not cause unsought mental ailments and intellectual deficiencies. We rely heavily on mainstream media for information but history has it, it is always biased. Biased in favor of those funding the nerves of our established information business. Biased towards the intent of getting more eyes and less brains. Beautifully adulterated by the minds which are paid to behave oblivious to the effect of trivial crap they are storming over the ignorant masses.
In the words of Mark Twain - if we don’t read newspapers, we are uninformed. If we read newspapers, we are misinformed. Concerned intellectuals like him, have always been warning masses about the treacherous misinformation propaganda scheme implemented to control and drive human society.
Well, we have no authority to guide or manipulate your thoughts or decisions. But still we feel empathetic enough to request all the readers not to trance themselves by this circus and freak-show played on your T.V screens. The mainstream media as been systematically corrupted and manipulated and made so much dependent on money that it lies now in a state beyond any repairs. It has now become a rut. It will never tell you who really killed Kennedy and why, who really was behind 9/11 attacks, or whats the point behind this entire middle-east mayhem, or true reason behind India signing Nuclear Treaty with the west under-considering a truck load of problems associated with it, or the reason why since last 150 years all the scientific inventions and discoveries which could have decisively liberated humans from the bondage of economic slavery and misery have been deliberately suppressed , neglected or destroyed. Mainstream media will never tell you the true motive behind coalated efforts of world Governments to control the Internet through SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, ACTA and God knows what else. Internet is the last genuinely independent force left on this planet having potential to transform selfish and fearful mankind to benevolent and empathetic humankind. From homo sentients to homo sapiens.

Industry sponsored media will never tell you anything of this sort. You never had and will never have a say on what is being projected on the 16:9 inch screen in our homes. They don’t want intelligent citizens capable of critical thinking and clear minds. They deals mostly in well dressed lies and rarely in naked truths. You don’t believe us, try to compare the quality of all the information and news channels in last 15 years. Now a days, news channels have less of proper useful news, Discovery channel has less of discovery , History channel broadcasts entertainment of today but not the seriousness of past. Well, these were to name few. Any hint of real quality now becomes a shining exception in this pool of dumbness. If it was not of this picture tube, we human as a race would never have been in such dilapidating state.
Therefore team Vantage urges you to wake up from the slumber of ignorance and see the direction of our culture in its absolute sense.

Research the contents thoroughly and question its motives aggressively. We know it will consume more energy and time but owning a bit of truth is anytime better than loaning a huge pile of farces. Try to create your own reality before some else does it for you. Take our advice :
