Perception

1. Powerful is not always righteous. In fact, powerful is seldom righteous.

2. Popular media tends to align with the more powerful and becomes the mouthpiece of the powerful. The media that doesn’t, perishes. It is the pure, simple, natural order of things.

Combine 1 and 2, what do you get? What if everything that has been portrayed to us as righteous and just is actually malicious but powerful (and hence the authors’ favorite)? What if what they hail is powerful evil and what they condemn is powerless good?
