The Devastating Experiment in Televised Reality

By Don Hall

It all started in 1938. Spelling Bee was the first radio and television broadcast of a show that used ordinary people as the fodder for entertainment. Pitting regular people against one another in contests of mental skill to be shown to thousands of strangers who might then have their own chance to compete was a stroke of genius in a brand new medium.

By the mid-1950s, the game show format was one of the most watched and most heavily funded silos in American television. What’s My Line? To Tell the Truth. This Is Your Life. The Price is Right. Twenty-One. The $64,000 Question.

Of course, with the huge amounts of advertising money being made, there were bound to be fixes. The 1958 Twenty-One scandal involving producers Dan Enright and Albert Freedman as they manipulated the results by feeding WASP-y Charles Van Doran the answers so that the face of the show was not über-Jewish Herb Stempel was the first big case of network curation.

As told in the 1994 Robert Redford film Quiz Show the scandal was less about the money and more about the narrative the network wanted to tell. Enright and Freedman knew that a white, upper-class college professor winning a televised knowledge contest was a better story than the Bronx-born Jewish Post Office Clerk. Both men were fed answers but Van Doran brought in more ratings so they flipped Stempel out.

As the format continued to thrive more cases of cheating (both from the network and contestants) occurred. On top of the challenges of televised competitions came other bizarre moments that showed the cracks in televising real people. The Super Password winner who turned out to be a fugitive wanted in three states. The Bullseye contestant who was a serial killer. The Dating Game contestant who won a date with a convicted rapist.

While the game show format was lucrative, the use of regular people in televised settings gained steam in other areas. 1948’s Candid Camera used the reactions of bystanders pranked as entertainment. In 1958, interviewer Jack Wyatt questioned convicted criminals on Confession. 1964 was the year Paul Almond and Michael Apted began documenting the lives of fourteen British children spanning 63 years with the Up documentary series.

The 12-part 1973 PBS series An America Family showed a typical WASP family going through divorce and a complete televised breakdown of the family. In its own meta-moment, HBO and writer David Seltzer made a movie about the series starring Diane Lane, Tim Robbins, and James Gandolfini entitled Cinema Verite in 2011.

The Gong Show with it’s amateur hour format. COPS with its highly edited ride-alongside with actual working police. Producer George Schlatter capitalized on the advent of videotape to create Real People in 1979.

By the mid-eighties, the curation of real lives on TV took a cue from the highly popular talk show format of The Tonight Show to create daytime tabloid talk shows. Oprah Winfrey, Phil Donahue, Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jesse Raphael, and Jenny Jones ruled the airwaves with increasingly lurid narratives of actual people having sex with their sisters, marital cheating, secret cross-dressers, and Neo-Nazis. In 1984, with the case of an unwitting guest finding out his crush was his homosexual friend and subsequently gunning him down, the trial became the first televised court proceeding and helped Court TV begin to craft our legal system with advertising dollars behind it.

MTV, in 1992, introduced an expansion of the reality television idea with The Real World which had been inspired by both An American Family and the 1991 Dutch television show Nummer 28. American Idol. Survivor. Big Brother. The Biggest Loser. Wife Swap. Cheaters.

As more and more opportunities came to ordinary people to become famous for outrageous behavior and the technology allowed for better and more efficient editing to craft a network-desired narrative, the ordinary people learned to perform for the camera in ways that the surprised folks on Candid Camera could never have imagined.

Today, the circle is complete. The Skinner Boxes we live within are saturated with regular people who now have the unlimited capacity and technology to create their own versions of reality media via a smartphone, YouTube, and a narrative crafted out of their own design.

As Marshall McLuhan famously stated “The message is the medium.” The medium today is the internet and the unfettered access for a fully democratized series of messages supported by a distribution model bolstered entirely by appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Broadcast and cable news is just barely more substantive than reality media. YouTube has millions of people tuning in to watch videos of bad customer service moments, neighbors arguing about parking spaces, road rage incidents, racist tirades, and self declared citizen patrols designed to shame people into putting their shopping carts away properly.

For every Karen Calling the Manager video there is another type of Karen filming her to call the public opinion managers.

Videos of conspiracy theorists are embraced and shared across platforms about everything under the sun. Videos of police overreach and citizen activists defying the police in increasingly aggressive manner.

I recall a Northwestern DNA expert railing against television shows like CSI. The gist of his gripe was that the science behind these shows is mostly fiction but that the proliferation of the narrative that authorities have amazing technology at their disposal cements a fictional belief over time. Perception is simply not reality and it affects how we behave. It affects our choices based on false evidence and framing.

With reality media being manipulated by everyone from foreign governments to Critical Race Theorists to the president, the sum of its parts breeds a belief that nothing we see or read or hear is absent of spin. No media can be trusted. No one can be trusted.

Of course supporters of Bernie Sanders believe undyingly in the corruption of the DNC. Of course, a rabid 5% of the country believes that COVID is either a Chinese weapon or a Democrat takedown of the economy. Of course, progressives believe that all police officers are racists. They all saw it on YouTube so it must be true.

The crux of the result of this is simply that the only trusted source of information is one’s lived experience which is always tainted by emotional reaction, false assumptions, and a narcissistic tendency to see oneself at the center of all things.

The peril of reality media isn’t that there is no such thing as reality. It is that, over time, our perception of reality is completely distorted. No contest is trusted to be fair because there will always be a Charles Van Doran waiting for his answers. No potential partner can believed because there will always be that rapist and serial killer you might be dating. Everything is a prank foisted upon you by the multiple Alan Funts in waiting.

No wonder Americans can’t come together to weather a pandemic.

SEC Charges Pastor with Defrauding Retirees

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced fraud charges and an emergency asset freeze obtained against a Michigan-based pastor accused of exploiting church members, retirees, and laid-off auto workers who were misled to believe they were investing in a successful real estate business.

The SEC alleges that Larry Holley, the pastor of Abundant Life Ministries in Flint, Mich., cloaked his solicitations in faith-based rhetoric, replete with references to scripture and biblical figures. Holley allegedly told prospective investors that as a person who “prayed for your children,” he was more trustworthy than a “banker” with their money. According to the SEC’s complaint, Holley held financial presentations masked as “Blessed Life Conferences” at churches nationwide during which he asked congregants to fill out cards detailing their financial holdings, and he promised to pray over the cards and invited attendees to have one-on-one consultations with his team. He allegedly called his investors “millionaires in the making.”

According to the SEC’s complaint, which also charges Holley’s company Treasure Enterprise LLC and his business associate Patricia Enright Gray, approximately $6.7 million was raised from more than 80 investors who were guaranteed high returns and told they were investing in a profitable real estate company with hundreds of residential and commercial properties.

According to the complaint, Gray advertised on a religious radio station based in Flint and singled out recently laid-off auto workers with severance packages to consult her for a “financial increase.” Gray allegedly promised to roll over investors’ retirement funds into tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and invest them in Treasure Enterprise. The SEC alleges that no investor funds were deposited into IRAs, and Treasure Enterprise struggled to generate enough revenue from its real estate investments to support the business and make payments owed to investors. Treasure Enterprise owes investors an estimated $1.9 million in past due payments, according to the SEC’s complaint.

“As alleged in our complaint, Holley and Gray targeted the retirement savings of churchgoers, building a bond of trust purportedly based on faith but actually based on false promises,” said David Glockner.

According to the SEC’s complaint, Holley, Gray, and Treasure Enterprise were not registered to sell investments. The SEC encourages investors to check the background of anyone offering to sell them investments by doing a quick search on the SEC’s investor website.

The SEC has obtained a temporary restraining order in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Utah that freezes the assets of Holley, Gray, and Treasure Enterprise. The court’s order also appoints a receiver and imposes other emergency relief.

The SEC’s complaint alleges violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. The complaint seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus interest, penalties, and permanent injunctions.

The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, is being conducted by Ana P. Doncic, Delia L. Helpingstine, and Sruthi Koneru of the Utah office. The case is being supervised by Steven L. Klawans, and the litigation is being led by Jonathan S. Polish.

SEC ADOPTS JOBS ACT AMENDMENTS TO HELP ENTREPRENEURS AND INVESTORS

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it has adopted amendments to increase the amount of money companies can raise through crowdfunding to adjust for inflation. It also approved amendments that adjust for inflation a threshold used to determine eligibility for benefits offered to “emerging growth companies” (EGCs) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act.

“Regular updates to the JOBS Act, as prescribed by Congress, ensure that the entrepreneurs and investors who benefit from crowdfunding will continue to do so,” said SEC Acting Chairman Michael S. Piwowar. “Under these amendments, the JOBS Act can continue to create jobs and investment opportunities for the general public.”

The SEC is required to make inflation adjustments to certain JOBS Act rules at least once every five years after it was enacted on April 5, 2012. In addition to the inflation adjustments, the SEC adopted technical amendments to conform several rules and forms to amendments made to the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) by Title I of the JOBS Act.

The Commission approved the new thresholds March 31. They will become effective when they are published in the Federal Register.

BACKGROUND ON THE SEC JOBS ACT

Section 101 of the JOBS Act added new Securities Act Section 2(a)(19) and Exchange Act Section 3(a)(80) to define the term “emerging growth company” (“EGC”). Pursuant to those sections, every five years the SEC is directed to index the annual gross revenue amount used to determine EGC status to inflation to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”). To carry out this statutory directive, the SEC has adopted amendments to Securities Act Rule 405 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-2 to include a definition for EGC that reflects an inflation-adjusted annual gross revenue threshold. The JOBS Act also added new Securities Act Section 4(a)(6), which provides an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 under the Securities Act for certain crowdfunding transactions. In October 2015, the SEC promulgated Regulation Crowdfunding to implement that exemption. Sections 4(a)(6) and 4A of the Securities Act set forth dollar amounts used in connection with the crowdfunding exemption, and Section 4A(h)(1) states that such dollar amounts shall be adjusted by the SEC not less frequently than once every five years to reflect the change in the CPI-U published by the BLS. The SEC has adopted amendments to Rules 100 and 201(t) of Regulation Crowdfunding and Securities Act Form C to reflect the required inflation adjustments.

In addition, Sections 102 and 103 of the JOBS Act amended the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to provide several exemptions from a number of disclosure, shareholder voting, and other regulatory requirements for any issuer that qualifies as an EGC. The exemptions reduce the financial disclosures an EGC is required to provide in public offering registration statements and relieve an EGC from conducting advisory votes on executive compensation, as well as from a number of accounting and disclosure requirements. The regulatory relief provided under Sections 102 and 103 of the JOBS Act was self-executing and became effective once the JOBS Act was signed into law. The technical amendments that the SEC is adopting conform several rules and forms to reflect these JOBS Act statutory changes.
