It isn't just advertising, television is full of fiction which strengthens the 'suspension of disbelief' and weakens the detection of contrived events. All fiction is contrived and has an underlying purpose of influencing the reader/viewer.
Boorstin: "The greatest threat to democracy is the threat of unreality." The THREE WTC towers were blown up. Look at the original collapse films - which mainstream media will not re-broadcast -- which show EXPLOSIONS! Americans are drugged out of their minds by the unreality of mainstream media. Movies, novels and celebrities are not real or close to real. Neither are govt. and corporate press releases and our resultant contrived "news". Read Boorstin's book and it will change your life.
I watched 9/11 live. It look contrived.

Just like 9/11.
