Jack Thompson to unfortunately appear on AOTS

Aug 10th 2006 7:20AM (Joystiq)
Without sounding as crazy as JT himself I believe the problem is with public acceptance in general.

People are way to comfortable with accepting at face value whatever is covered on "reputable" news channels or common media. If CNN or BBC say something is fact one assumes it to be true, however when a 3rd party appears on said channel and spews forth their sentiment as fact, this is just bad journalism and even worse is the public attitude of NOT CHALLENGING a public figure.

Sure we (gamers) and most of our friends (free thinking individuals) will challenge the predominantly incoherent ramblings of a madman, but the vast majority of the media indoctrinated "free world" will be eagerly awaiting the next sermon from the Jack Thompson pulpit. Preaching is not teaching and only real debate would suffice to shut this fool down.

PS: I wouldn't mind seeing John Stewart getting stuck into this guy, or a 60 minutes/harball style interview with an "interrogative reporter."
