Telling Guantanamo

Our ability to understand fiction is based on our exposure to alternative realities, the constant belief that nothing that we see can be entirely realistic. This being said, the use of art in politics has an interesting side effect on the creation of a new reality where the constant is no longer present. In this situation, falsity gains weight and what is real becomes irrelevant. This transformation has been aided by CNN and associates who have disfigured reality into random flashes of picturesque destruction accompanied by a dramatic male voice and techno music. The truth has been watered down to appeal to news attention deficit citizens who can only process incoherent images flashing across a television screen.
