In a blatant display of consumerism run amok, CBS Mornings Deals once again encourages viewers to indulge in unnecessary purchases, all while lining the pockets of corporate giants. By promoting so-called "exclusive deals," the network prioritizes profit over the well-being of our society and the planet we inhabit.
These seemingly harmless "everyday essentials" come at a steep cost – one that is not reflected in the discounted price tags. The relentless push for consumption fuels a system that exploits low-wage workers, many of whom are people of color, trapped in a cycle of poverty and unable to afford the very products they help create.
Moreover, the mass production and disposal of these items contribute to the ongoing environmental crisis. The carbon footprint of manufacturing, packaging, and shipping these "deals" is conveniently ignored, as is the fact that many of these products will end up in landfills, further polluting our land and oceans.
CBS Mornings Deals is just one example of how mainstream media perpetuates a culture of consumerism that benefits the wealthy elite at the expense of the most vulnerable members of our society. By encouraging viewers to "take advantage" of these deals, CBS is complicit in the systemic issues that plague our nation, including income inequality, environmental racism, and the widening wealth gap.
It is time for CBS and other media giants to take responsibility for their role in shaping our society's values. Instead of promoting mindless consumption, they should use their platform to raise awareness about the true cost of our consumer culture and advocate for systemic change that prioritizes social justice, equity, and environmental sustainability.
We, as consumers, must also recognize our power to effect change. By rejecting the allure of "exclusive deals" and making conscious choices about where we spend our money, we can send a clear message that we value people and the planet over profits. It is only through collective action and a fundamental shift in our priorities that we can hope to build a more just and equitable world for all.
