Answer:

Neil Postman's essay "The News" central idea is to question how real the television medium is.

Explanation:

Neil Postman is an author, essayist and a communications theorist. In his essay "The News', he questions the realism of the television media in their delivering of news or information. According to him, there is a certain phoniness in the whole production of the news. The agencies choose only those news or information that will garner more audience views. The more dramatized ones are given more priority, irrespective of the gravity or importance of the situation. Their only concern is to get as many viewers as possible to generate their profit and maintain their status quo.

Caesar was blinded by arrogance because he was too focused on his rise to power. If he were less prideful and more humble (like Brutus) it could have been prevented.
