#298: Getting Facts To Those Who're Being Played
..............................
My previous post suggested that the Fox News viewers in this country could be reached by cutting out the middleman (Fox News and its ilk), and presenting television entertainment, complete with celebrities and comedians in a 'live' format.
Here's an example of what I have in mind:
President Biden has 2-3 celebrities on Zoom. The focus tonight is explaining Science. After a few warm-up exchanges, he starts with Neil deGrasse Tyson, who explains:
"Let's say you're guessing which size screwdriver to use. You try a big one. Nope. Next size down; perfect. That's science at a very basic level. It's you testing something out. In the end you find the right answer and you get to work. The typical scientist is doing that x 1,000. And, once that scientist finds the right screwdriver, there's no reason to keep looking. Science is like that.
Biden then introduces a 20-second Climate Science video, emphasizing that it's only 20 seconds. Afterwards: "Science knows the answer already. And get this, the answer is cheaper, and creates more jobs. So, its a no-brainer."
Next is a lighter moment with a different celebrity.
Each night's half-hour show is promoted based on the scheduled guests. There's no killer like "Topic: Climate Change" to weed out the curious from the already initiated.
Something for each age bracket. A general script and 3-minute delay, with celebrities and experts doing the heavy lifting. Biden keeping it lit.
