Yes, television is being used to push liberal agenda. There are many programs, shows which attack God, Our Blessd Mother and the Catholic faith, families, marriage, and good values.

They seem to push sex, violence, destruction of family and marriages, teen age pregnancies, . Most media even on internet is so liberal.

Thanks for sharing the article.

A curious name. Blessed Anne de Guigne died 20 years before television first blinked
into existence.

The only way to really be free of TV is to put a brick through the screen.
But these days, with flat screens and computer hookups, it's more complicated.

I know families with TV in their living room who are entirely hooked, and there's no
getting around it. When they invite me to sit there and watch with them, I have
something to say every ten or 15 seconds, and they get upset that they can't hear
what's going on in their sacred false god's reality.

These are Catholics, who never spend that much attention in front of the Blessed
Sacrament. They complain that "nothing's going on" if a priest isn't at the altar
moving around somehow. Their whole perception is clouded by a lifetime
of TV viewing.

I had an acquaintance 20 years ago who was involved in "the industry" (that
means Entertainment, or movies, or TV -- to them it's the whole world) who
assured me that the power of TV was soon to become the principal device
of public opinion control, and that its power is impossible to overestimate.

Well, I have to say, that TV has no power at all over anyone who does not
watch it.

And those of us who don't watch TV, we are really duty-bound to talk about that
in the public arena. People really need to hear the testimony of us who are not
mind-numbed robots under the thumb of TV programmers.

If you have young children I would use caution when talking about no tv to others that do not agree. Some will view it as child abuse.

It's sad, but I can seriously believe that, and I can even see some kid's parents being harassed because they are "denying" their children television. I've heard that the guy responsible for the invention of public television, was a marketer. His goal was nothing less than the "programming" of people to buy products. (This 'program' brought to you by...) Then of course even more evil people saw the benefits in propaganda and brainwashing. It's crazy how nobody even ever questions why they call it programming. When people spend up to six or more hours a day average in front of a television, of course they will think that to not have one is crazy- that's what some guy on T.V. said, anyway...

WITHHOLDING TELEVISION

Watching too much TV makes one stupid. There is not much to learn from it.
Not only that, those tv programmes spread wrong ideas -- e.g. it's ok to let children play video games, or don't be too strict towards children, or that romantic love is the greatest thing in life, etc.

News on TV is also bad. The ads trivialize all the news.

I hate watching too much TV. I don't watch TV a lot, my secret of staying away from TV is to
read books and magazines. I have subscribed Catholic life, Vatican past and present, Gilbert magazine, etc.

I cancelled my cable many years ago and stopped watching T.V. I actually had withdrawal symptoms for awhile which was weird. I talked to my parents about it and they decided to also cancel their cable and don't watch T.V. We watch old classic movies, religious movies, and some youtubes.
