Commend a contempt for any literacy
Cultivate
their urge to violence
Enhance
the foreign boogeymen
Promote
the artificial spectacle
Distract
with empty franchised sport
Bury
cryptic legalese within fine print
Foster
distrust of long-term planning
Dumb
down their grades and tests
Play
soothing background music
Show
peaceful family pictures
Leave
journalism to the advertisers
Stay
focused on short-term costs
Control
science thru political debate
Finance
their spot in a fuzzy heaven
Concoct
hot-button litmus tests
Pit
your enemies against our families
Seed
the media with paid spokesmen
Stick
to short hyperbolized sound bites
Read
canned speeches with great passion
Relentlessly
remain on simple, concocted messages
Paint
all the issues in black or white
Celebrate
with colorful, noisy waste
Always
portray them as His Chosen People
Pretend
to own the higher moral ground
Belittle
those who go in-depth
Substitute
tweets for editorials
Forgo
plot for special effects
Help
them to be dependent on illegal labor
Reward
them richly for gutting industr
Label
air, water and soil as ignorable externalities
Equate
blind greed with patriotism
Cite
tradition but ignore real history
Anoint
Social Darwinism as god’s will
Call
bankers ourA Best and Brightest
Keep
fast food and cold beer cheap
Promise
them that their kids shall lead the world
