Good piece. I got confused at the end with the red type. Are those your comments, Mark?
I use BBC. XM satellite radio channel 118. Our local npr carries BBC for a couple hours in the morning and again at 9 in the evening.
A seminal work on television new is Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death.”
The red type was in the original. I think that was his fisking of the Ahlquest quotes.
