For filmmakers, journalists, and pop culture and television historians:

Graham Hancock’s #AncientApocalypse is the direct, lineal descendant of “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau” (1968), created by Alan Landsberg, the grandfather of #RealityTV.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Land…
Alan Landsberg also created the “In Search of…” series, narrated first by Rod Serling (of Twilight Zone and Night Gallery) and then by Leonard Nimoy (of Star Trek).

It ran from 1977 to 1982.

The series presented pseudoarchaeology and pseudoscience.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search…
Alan Landsberg’s successful #RealityTV genre of speculative documentaries and contrived situations led directly to the creation of The Apprentice, which ran from 2004 to 2017.

I blame Trumpism on “reality TV,” a lie even in its name.

Exit interviews from #BigBrother 24 state that the finale results were predetermined before the final Head of Household took place; the deciding juror’s were HEAVILY influenced in their decision making process by Production and Media members! Let me explain:
#bb24

🧵<Thread>👇
Readers: Reality TV is different then a #GameShow. #BB24 is #RealityTV and therefore Production has NO legal obligation to keep things ‘fair’ by not influencing house-guests & competitions. (Game Shows by comparison are LEGALLY required to maintain a standard of ‘fairness.’)

Taylor’s eloquent finale speech was IRRELEVANT to the final jury vote! The jury vote was PREDETERMINED before the final HoH was even done! Turner revealed that the jury members told him that their vote was already decided at the earlier round-table discussion!

Lights are everywhere, it may be 9 pm but the artificial spotlights make it as bright as day
The blond beta was reading his cards one last time before the producer makes him a sign from where he sits with a few cameramen in waiting and a pitcher of black coffee.
Aizawa always hated night shots but this show is so far the most famous coming out of their channel and with how much the network pays him he can sacrifice a few nights a year to film.

And then this happens...literally like a @Deliveroo advert. However, it’s not, as its in a programme and therefore not covered by @ASA_UK (and wont be covered under future plans, if they go ahead, to ban #JunkFood adverts prior to 9pm watershed)

#medialiteracy #mediajustice @ABCNetwork CAST SEAN F*CKING SPICER ON @DancingABC. In #RealityBitesBack I exposed how #realityTV functions as backlash against gender+racial justice & social progress. Corporate media are largely responsible for POTUS 45. Now the cycle continues 1/3
2/3 Here's my 2017 piece on Sean Spicer's Holocaust denialism, and what I feared it foreshadowed from 45's administration. I didn't want to be right.

I was.

And now Spicer'll hoof it on @DancingABC, @ABCNetwork letting him rehab his image medium.com/the-establishm…
#medialiteracy
3/3 Corporate media have immense power to shape our lives, from personal beliefs to public policy and governance. Yet @ABCNetwork is choosing to profit off Holocaust denier/facist enabler Sean Spice... just as @nbc was responsible for making Trump POTUS. bitchmedia.org/article/nbc-an…
