HI! My name is Carmine. I'm a fucking idiot!
Book Launch Day.
For decades, Americans have believed we were free thinkers. But what if the very screen that entertained us was quietly shaping our beliefs, our values, and even our sense of reality?!
In Programmed to Obey, journalist Carmine Sabia exposes how television has transformed from a tool of storytelling into a weapon of control — rewiring the nation’s mind, one broadcast at a time. From commercials to sitcoms that redefine morality, Sabia traces how TV has eroded faith, family, and truth itself, leaving Americans addicted to illusion.
Drawing on history, psychology, and personal experiences, Sabia reveals how the media’s most powerful invention has become the instrument that has destroyed America’s soul — and what it will take to reclaim it.
We didn’t lose our integrity overnight; we traded it for a remote.
