[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 359982, member: 35"] Springer himself seemed to think so. At the conclusion of his show, he said "I'm so sorry. What have I done? I've ruined the culture." I personally think it's more complicated than that. The fact that we live in a failed democracy with corrupt institutions hell bent on sowing division is the bigger problem IMO. Shows like Springer's are basically just sleight of hand. While everybody's watching the trainwreck, the ruling class are running off with the money. I suppose the modern version of that would be TikTok, Twitter, and various other forms of social media. At the end of the day, it's all just nonsense and noise meant to keep us ignorant and distracted. Getting back to Springer, his show (like several others from that era) started off earnestly before being retooled into trash. Like I said, everybody loves a trainwreck. [/QUOTE]
