You may be onto something there, as liberal leaning indoctrination courses are increasingly dependent on flashy "multimedia" sources to best head off any independent thinking by our impressionable youth.
But hey; I spent five years in a basement with an encyclopedia set and a shelf of classic literature while finding no one (children my age nor teachers) knew what the hell I was talking about. Perhaps my ability to glean the few positive aspects of mass media, because of that separation during a critical developmental period, disqualifies me from fairly criticizing it.
Q: What does television sell? What product?
