The hypocracy of TV

Have you ever noticed how two faced all the morning television shows are on tv? I mean they are always talking about how you should save the environment and conserve and switch your light bulbs to flourescent lights and all that stuff and then they go into a commercial break and its almost nothing but car commercials? Usually big, giant American gas guzzling cars too. Cars that are so big that you could probably see them from space if you were flying in a space shuttle. So is it all just a pose? They just pay lip service to the idea of saving the environment and then dont really practice any of it in reality? It's very popular to be in favor of the environment but its a lot harder to practice saving it because that requires sacrifice and they just are not willing to make it. How about you promote only products that do not harm the environment and not accept advertising for products that are harmful? Well that would be quite a sacrifice now would it not? They always talk the talk but when it actually comes to doing it then you get all kinds of B.S. about why they cant or wont or both or neither and so on and so on. Im just saying that its kinda two faced for a show like The Today Show or Good Morning America to do some segment like why you should switch to using all rechargeable batteries in order to save the environment and then they cut to commercials about the new Ford mini van that just came out with some celebrity behind the wheel talking in a sexy voice about how you should buy this car and go pollute the planet everywhere you drive it. It's like they just pay lip service to the idea on one hand and then they take the money and run on the other.
