I haven't watched TV in years. I've been getting my visual input from the AP
feed. That seems to be more balanced than what you describe.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

*Groan.* I know so few people who don't watch TV. I watch it a bit when I
travel. But I yanked my cable on 9/12/1. I don't know that it's gotten
more juvenile. Maybe it's just weaning. But I read the CNN website. And,
the odd time I see the TV version, I note that it expands the bit of content
on the website into an hour of tawdry emotion laden wanking.

They had a ratings war in 1980. I chased my favorite shows (like WKRP) through
the different time slots. The next year, I started graduate school, which left
me little time for television. I just never got back into the habit.

And it is a habit. I know me, and I will sit down and watch anything if there's
a TV going in the room. Now, I deliberately avoid it.
