In the articles, Baudrillard is "represented" by his own definition: "The sign and the real are equivalent." My point on simulation doesn't come in until the news media reflects a journalistic simulation of a type of journailsm that no longer exists. (That part, I admit, needs further exploration but, sadly, I am out of time.) I do hope that clarifies your question somewhat. Hey Mikey,

I don?t think that they knew what they were saying when they printed the article, hanging themselves for the public to witness. But, who know if they general public just nodded their heads and moved on anyway. I don?t understand what you mean, Baudrillard being his own representation. So, do you mean that b/c the media is reporting on him, he is put into this simulation cycle and eventually his theory will lose any and all true meaning? I think you mean that they didn?t? pay enough tribute to his work during in his obituary, therefore skewing the whole of his work. The public only comes away with a taste of who he is. Anything less than the whole truth is nothing like the truth. Kimmy

You were able to touch on a lot of areas discussed in Baudrillard's argument while applying it to today's society. I too actually used the idea of the news casters. I thought that they worked perfectly with the idea of simulation and the narrow minded point of view when it comes to variety and creativity. Also your example of carbon copy capability, works perfectly with the argument, which again gave me even further insight about the argument. Personally, your discussion about simularcra was really helpful. I was struggling with connecting the ideas portrayed through the argument to the entire picture. Thanks!! Wonderful job!!
