Murray Bookchin Reads Time Magazine
NR 28 minJan 1st, 1982
Historian political philosopher environmentalist and anarchist Murray Bookchin demonstrates how Time magazine obliterates time in this 1982 episode of Paper Tiger Television Time is soothing The events in Time look nothing like the events experienced by those at them The news in Time happens elsewhere happens to others Time is reliable It comes each week and with it past present and future merge to the point of disappearance Like television Time lulls readers into complacency because the news is given an even consistent tone All issues are treated the same with the same bland distance Time makes a reality so unreal so colorless The news in Time comes written and photographed in a comforting tone that treats events as inconsequential and thus encourages a notion of not just a false sense of security but a sense that our actions are without consequence
