When the Body fails over integrity
Written Nov 15th 2009, I use Pictory for the video.

A body, any body, has parts which act to a purpose. But sometimes a body fails, and its parts fail to act in unity with the mind of the spirit.
One example springs to mind with media promotion surrounding the film Ben Hur.
Ben Hur is a 1959 film which won 11 academy awards. Promoters noted a chariot race with Charlton Heston and came up with the phrase "Bigger than Ben Hur." But people watching the film, although enjoying the chariot race, might feel that the subject matter is not about that, but about the eyewitness account of Jesus Christ's life. Time passes and Ben Hur is rarely seen on tv as often as it used to be. The references that people find to it refer to the "Bigger than Ben Hur" promotions, but one has to dig to find the Christ references. Yet that was probably not what writer Lew Wallace intended when he wrote the book .. the intent was to write a fictionalized account of an eyewitness of Christ's life. Time passes, and twenty odd years ago a musical appears of another 19th century writing, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. The play is promoted as a fictionalized account of the life of people during the French Revolution. Digging around, one hears the word 'epic.' However, those who watch the story, or hear the music, hear a life story of a man who becomes convicted in faith to god.
It is not unnatural for dystopia to invade media discourse. Horatio Nelson joined the Whigs despite being a lifelong Tory because he wanted a say (Pocock, Tom (1987). Horatio Nelson. London: The Bodley Head). The US Democrat party is said to stand for minorities, yet it is the party which made as president the famed Indian Killer, supported slavery, bungled WWI and WWII. Made the Korean war last over fifty years. Initiated the Vietnam War. Dropped an atom bomb on a civilian population twice. Betrayed peoples of former Yugoslavia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Timor, Indonesia, Burma, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda and others. Democrat policy brought about the current GFC, opposes orderly migration, promotes the myth of AGW and seems to pride itself on being irresponsible. Yet it seems to run almost every single news service except Fox.
In Australia we have debate regarding the myth of stolen generations, border security, policing, health, monetary policy, AGW and more. In every case, the media broadly support the ALP despite the general population being about 50/50 in support of conservative parties.
The question needs to be asked regarding the integrity of the body.
