From Terry Mattingly:
1 – Have only one television set in the home. Media critic Neil Postman has said that people have always had castles in the air and imaginary lives, but that it was not until television that people actually tried (perhaps statistically speaking) to live in them. …
3 – Children should never watch TV alone. If you stick with this rule, it will have an amazing impact on your whole family. …
6 – Read a newspaper. It is amazing how much one can learn about the extremes of visual media—the best and the worst—merely by reading and clipping articles in a good newspaper. …
8 – Talk back to the TV. Voice your opinions—especially on the moral and religious content in programs and even in advertisements. … [I’m particularly good at this one…]
