Ready for Gold’s Reality Show?

Used to be we turned to entertainment to escape reality. Nowadays, reality is our entertainment.

Or, at least, what the media is presenting as reality.

Most of the time, TV reality shows bear a vague resemblance to real life. We tune in, sit back and watch a bunch of frantic adults compete in supposedly realistic situations…all the while knowing that there’s nothing very real about it.

But this “fake reality” isn’t just limited to entertainment TV. You often find it in such unlikely places as the TV evening news.

What You Don’t Know Really Can Hurt You

“Wait! The evening news? The news I turn on every night to get the scoop on what’s happening in the world? It’s not telling me everything I need to know?”

Bingo. And who knows why? The TV news will give you some of the surface stuff, some political stuff, some lifestyle trend stuff and some celebrity stuff. And, because it is the evening news, we’re left believing that we’ve been completely briefed on the day’s developments.

We think we’re getting all of today’s reality, in other words.

Sadly, that’s just not the case. TV has a funny way of filtering out the touchiest, scariest, most controversial news, the stuff we, as responsible adults, really need to know. As a result, we’re left without a clue of what’s actually happening out there, of what the world is really struggling with. But just because we don’t have a clue, doesn’t mean these developments can’t hurt us. As an example, here are two ominous, “media-overlooked” realities:

• Dollar Panic at Our Doorsteps. The TV news never mentions a thing about the critical condition of our dollar...and that’s like not lowering the gates when a freight train is roaring in. We aren’t just at new dollar lows in the current dollar bear market, we’re close to the all-time dollar lows!
