Dawkins uses this to (quite rightly) argue against the growing coverage given to, and the subsequent dependency on, irrational superstition not only by the media but in various health services and entertainment industries – exemplified on film and television by the likes of The Fourth Kind (2009; dir. Olatunde Osunsanmi) or 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry (2002-Present) – but his undeniably accurate assumptions can also be applied to the inability or refusal of media practitioners and theorists to adequately question not only a specific issue but their place within its wider context – suggesting through an alarming willingness to accept things at face value, the even more disturbing lack of introspection and awareness on the part of modern media professionals when dealing with current social, cultural or political topics. We can add to the blanket disregard for Knight’s unequivocally grounded theory, the open hostility many programmes and programme makers display for racial equality, feminism and ecology, and the growing trend of populist documentaries that support a frightening Chrisitan subtext (an example of which, and the subsequent debate it arose, can be found here).
