T.V., on the other hand, that's debatable. Since 90% of news organizations are owned by about 5 people, you are not exactly getting a "healthy diet" or diversity of opinion, and news would be the only legitimate use of TV nowadays, considering the alternative is unfunny and trite sitcoms and "reality" shows. Once Seinfeld went off the air and the Simpsons lost Matt Groening, TV became a wasteland, IMO. I hear there's a new series of Dr. Who coming on the air in Britain, now *that* I would want to watch, but the cable monopoly here in Canada either would not offer it or would charge exorbitant rates just to get that one channel. There is Tech TV as well, but I don't get it for the same reason. I get all the news I need from the BBC and CBC, both of which are independant, public, and available *online*.
