Mike Rowe Blasts Media for Lying to Lazy Americans

This is the kind of message that made Mike Rowe famous.

In an interview with Fox News,’ Tucker Carlson that aired Friday, the former host of the Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs” and CNN’s “Somebody’s Gotta Do It” hit again on the theme that Americans have lost faith in the intrinsic value of working for a living.
And he knew just where to put the blame for it.

The popular culture of 21st century America, Rowe said, is putting a premium on the compensation workers get, while missing the point that a job itself has value — or “Horatio Alger stuff” he called it.

“I think we have identified work as the proximate cause of our dissatisfaction. And I think you don’t have to look far to find endless examples,” Rowe told Carlson.

“Look, the best-selling books right now in the self-help section and in general claim to have the solution for how you can work less. Most of the commercials on TV ask a tacit question, you know, how could you be happier? And the answer, of course, is retiring a little sooner or work 35 instead of 40 hours.”

For the eight years of the Obama administration that was especially true — with a virtually moribund economy and a federal government that seemed bent on fattening the rolls of Americans on food stamps.

But it wasn’t just a Democrat administration. Rowe blasted the media for making Americans more work-averse, too — using lies to make the country more flat-out lazy.
“The TV shows that are typically valued tend to embrace notions of short-cuts,” he told Carlson.

“In 1,000 different ways, I believe, as a society, we’ve made the case that the enemy of your happiness is your damn job. And if you could only have less of that, all these other things, in some perverse, zero-sum game, would equal out and you would smile more.”
