Perhaps, you're a fan of tv, perhaps, you're not. Maybe, you like some aspects of it and not others.
My favorite tv hates are 'news', and commercials. I always mute the commercials. Some ads i find disgusting are the feebreaze ones, where they blindfold people and set them down in the midst of garbage. There are other disgusting ones, that is just one example.
What passes for news is, isn't news in the old fashioned sense of a fair coverage of what is going on the world, as it is an organ of the big corps and govts to direct the peoples' attentions to where and what those corps and govts want. Then, also, to apply the correct view/attitude of those corps and govts to those 'news'.
As well, lastly, the news corps need ratings. And so, they are greatful for every calamity which has the potential for broad appeal. They exploit those calamities in order to maximize their air time and ratings.
My relationship w tv is love hate. I love a lot of the history, nature, techno and diy programs. Also, some of the movies. If i didn't need tv, i wouldn't have anything to say about this subject.
