TV is only harmful to excess. It's not just TV that's making people paranoid. Mediums as old as newspapers, magazines and advertisements outside of television are still inflicting needless fear and making us paranoid.

I don't dislike TV, I just ****ing abhor commercials. There are some good shows out there, but I always ALWAYS mute the TV during the commercials.
Whether or not TV is evil is up to debate. There are some intelligent, entertaining shows out there, but there's a lot of crap out there too, but that can be applied to music and literature as well. It's just a matter of sifting through the crap and finding the good things. However I do agree with what Huey Freeman said on The Boondocks right before grandad delivered the finishing blow to Stinkmeaner, "You know, right now we could all be reading a book." |

I think the TV is sending out a lot of mixed messages, especially to the young kids and teenagers. It always has, except that now, in the UK at any rate, the boundaries have been pushed a lot further back. Material which wasn't acceptable not so long ago is now regarded as normal viewing. I don't get the feeling that people here are paranoid; more like subtle brain-washing has re-defined how we are supposed to think and act in our every day lives.
