thank you for c-span. i'm trying to talk about the program that ended. i wanted to make the observation that back in the 60's, vance packard put out a book called hidden persuaders which was describing how advertisements were working. one of the things in the book that he talked about was they were starting to put on tv these many shots -- mini shots which happen so quickly which was an advertisement to purchase this type of cola. what's not meant to be -- it was not meant to be seen by the conscious mind but a subliminal message that flashed during the program, that your mind could pick up. they outlawed that. it seems to me that one of the problems of facebook, or any other media on the internet is the algorithms they are using to manipulate the viewer, to see the things that they'll you think you want to see. what they think will help them move advertisements. if they keep your attention in the internet that they are watching by showing you stuff that makes you angry because they know that things make you angry is attractive to people, you will contin
