Concision (Wikipedia) is a form of censorship described by media critics such as Noam Chomsky as the practice of limiting debate and discussion of important topics on broadcast news on the basis of broadcast time allotment.
Media critics contend that this practice, especially on commercial broadcasts with advertising, encourages broadcasters to exclude people and ideas that they judge cannot conform to the time limits of a particular program. This leads to a limited number of "the usual suspects" who will say expected ideas that will not require extensive explanation such as mainstream political ones. Furthermore, introducing controversial or unexpected statements that do not conform to those conventional ideas are discouraged as time inefficient because the person will be required to explain and support them in detail.
The Milwaukee Story
Ideas being used against the mind of the innocent
Obedience to authority is paramount in a society that is taken down the path ours is on. We have been schooled in this for many years, our education system, religion, media and work structure all promote this idea. And it is demonstrated in an experiment conducted in the 60s called the Milgram experiment.
