What am I supposed to do, read about the Superbowl after it is over, subject
to the bias of some composer of words in print, or read about the Olympic
figure skaters after they have won, or lost, and not appreciate their grace
in action? And how well could I appreciate Bill Clinton's 68% favorability
rating without having watched him "in the eye" as the drama/comedy unfolded?
What, give up my 50" surround-sound electronic instrument of 21st- century
cultural appreciation!
Hey, I don't need some group trying to persuade me to turn my TV on, or off,
or suggesting which channels to watch, or ignore, any more than I need
someone to tell me which "news"papers to buy and which writers to read and
to avoid!
This is a "free" country. The various media have their places. Make up
your own mind, as I shall mine!
