Personally I think of a TV as a horrifying and ubereffective dumbing down device. I were trying to avoid it as much as possible because the entire thing is a huge sales pitch. I don't even watch news.

One day though I had a drug-induced religious experience which taught me that everything shown on TV is scifi. Especially the news. So now I don't have negative feelings towards the TV, just towards the people who take it seriously
