we stopped our cable service because we mostly got 200 channels of advertising for products we aren’t interested in, plus mind-rotting krapo “programs” ....
we still have a boobtoob and occasionally watch “Nature” or “Nova” but we skip over the midrot krap.
Recall Vladimar Zwyorkin, the Jewish Russian immigrant who invented the main TV tube that made modern electronic TV practical. He envisioned all sorts of wonderful, uplifting, educational and high-cultural programs of instruction, opera, symphonies, to enhance people’s lives.
Asked about it a few years on, he said that... had he known the krappy (my word) programming that would take over broadcasting, that he would have smashed every one of his prototype tubes in his laboratory.
(Note: and that was his comment on 1950’s or 60’s programming, which was not nearly as demeaning and just plain stupid as today’s....)
You mean the nature shows and the science shows filled with global warming/man is a cancer propaganda? The ones that slam the oil/mining industries as planet killers? And lets be honest here. There is not one nature/science show today that does not. Not one.
Good for you that you ditched the cable/dish. But you are still getting pure BS fed into your home, family and mind as truth. And that’s far more destructive and jellofying than the outright fantasy of video games.
