5、 cases, is a necessity.The emergence of TV talk showsIn the early 1950s, when TV emerged as the dominant cultural form, it represented to us a middle-aged, middle-class, white-male image of authority. Network prime time was TV, and what it gave us, from dusk to bedtime, was a series of white middle-
6、class fathers assuring us night after night that they knew best, that all was in good hands, that we neednt worry about the many scary, confusing changes brought by postwar capitalism.Ever since the 1960s, however, this has been harder and harder to manage. The breakdown of the family, the crisis in

The most recent dramatic proof of the impact of social crisis and the progressive movements they spawned is the amazing media talks a
8、bout “ multiculturalism“ and “ political correctness“ on campuses.The primary goal of talk shows as a television form is to attract curious audiences and sell them products, not revolution, thus calling for the circus-like atmosphere and the need for bizarre and giggle-inducing topics and participan

The host is still the star, of course. But in terms of authority, she or he is far from central. The phy
11、sical set enforces this fact. Audiences and participants sit in a circular form andthis is the only TV format in which this happensspeak out, sometimes without being called on. They yell at each other and at host, disagree with experts, and come to no authoritative conclusions. There is something ex

The audience, selected from the black community, argued with everythin

Both participants and audience members attacked the “expert“, a black writer committed to the natural to “black is beautiful“.This is as close as television gets to open discourse on serious issues. But it is only possible because the issues discussed are not taken seriously by thos
15、e in power. And that is why the sensationalism of these shows is double-edged. If they were respectable in their style and choice of issues, theyd be reined in more. By allowing themselves to seem light-hearted and trashy, they manage to carry on often-serious discussion without being cut off the ai
