TV

A disclaimer: I watch TV as most people do. I use it to inform me, entertain me, numb me and put  me to sleep.

Still. thins like this drive me crazy:

200 channels, 24 hours in a day means almost 5000 hours of TV programming. How much of it has any real substance?

The network world news has not more than 25 minutes to cover the day's events. The last 5 minutes is about a pet, a child or new network programming.

The same time is devoted to the evening network news as is devoted to celebrity news.

Is this what we want, or what the sponsors will pay for or just a what we get?
