Christopher Hedges states it in Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle:
"An image-based culture communicates through narratives, pictures, and pseudo-drama. Scandalous affairs, hurricanes, untimely deaths, train wrecks––these events play well on computer screens and television. International diplomacy, labor union negotiations, and convoluted bailout packages do not yield exciting personal narratives or stimulating images... Reality is complicated. Reality is boring. We are incapable or unwilling to handle its confusion... We become trapped in the linguistic prison of incessant repetition. We are fed words and phrases like 'war on terror' or 'pro-life' or 'change' and within these narrow parameters, all complex thought, ambiguity, and self-criticism vanish (Hedges 2009).
