SURVIVOR!

Get Headlines:
As Americans tune into the last episode of Survivor, the latest trend in TV fare, survival continues to be the main concern of people in Chechnya, no longer hot news in the press but a war still far from over. Only in America could "Survivor" be served up as 'reality TV". It is yet another media contrived pseudo-reality, where contestants battle fiercely for the their fifteen minutes and their hoped for million dollar pay-off. The survival goes to the shrewdest and the toughest and in this Survivor is a reflection of American corporate reality as we have been trained to live it.
