美国电视要比任何其他媒体更富于“大众文化意识”,换言之,它的文化规定性(及其成品)是不可变换的。……这一传统具有丰富的文化意识内涵,但并不足以掩盖它的严重的缺陷:电视把事物的本来面目暴露得过于彻底,换句话说,电视过于明显地把资本主义社会里文化的商品本质公诸于众,它过于频繁地告诉人们,在这样的社会里,教育和文化投入的首要效用是为了享受财政回收和社会特权。 American television is more “popular culturally aware” than any other media, in other words, its cultural norms (and its finished products) are invariably transformable. ... This tradition has a rich cultural connotation, but not enough to cover up its serious flaws: television exposes the true nature of things to be too radical. In other words, television sets the cultural goods in capitalist society too clearly The essence is made public, and it frequently tells people that the primary utility of education and culture in such societies is to enjoy financial recovery and social privileges.
