1st qqc- reading journal

Hi

quote: that the televisions coversations promote incoherance and trivialty: that the phrase "serious television" is a contidiction in terms: and that television speakes on only one persistant voive-the voice of entertianment.

question: why is neil postoman have problems with televsion?

comment: i think that the author has a very jaded prespective on televsion-telvsion media that is really the exact aditude that makes "me and my fellow advertisers" have truble. i think that there so many wonderful things about televion how it can take you to such emotinal places. i do think it needs to be in moderation and it dependes on what you watch but there is such thing as "serious television" and there is deffinatley such thing as "GREAT" televsion. i could debate alot more about htis but and go deper into my opion but i will just say that i think that when your down and it seemes like there is nothing you can do to make you happy watching one of my favorite shows can sometimes help you deal with that and if there is something wrong about acsionaly letting your mind go to differnt places and worlds the smack the cuffs on me and charge me but i think neil postman ideas are not ones we should belive plus. add people know what there donig. we know who were minulating-"so to speak" and what we trying to seel and the brand culture we are trying to create!
