Everyone has TV shows they like - this doesn't in any way imply that the television industry is working toward making better use of it. It just means television has never been "all bad". Whatever fight you're looking for, I'm not interested.

    The industry is not a monolith. It's up to individuals and individual organizations to use TV for whatever purpose they choose. People like Mr. Rogers chose to turn television into an instrument to teach children about life and how to live it, about themselves and others, how we're different and alike. To look at that and still be mad because every other individual or organization that ever went on air didn't do the same thing is just mind-blowingly out of touch with reality.

    Whatever fight you’re looking for, I’m not interested.

    Shit, I'm still waiting for you to make a valid point. Get blocked then, I guess.
