At the circus

A correspondent asks about yesterday's post regarding appalling TV

Didn't PP ask "And what is truth?" and isn't the ? meant to be there?
Why waste time looking at rubbish?

and I replied

I agree about wasting time looking at rubbish...but you see such things because the TV is on.
BUT I also have a bigger question about whether just ignoring this stuff is actually responsible...it is not only garbage it is demoralising and socially destructive. We shouldn't just ignore that should we?

I think this is a fairly important point. We get the TV we deserve, so we need to do something about what we don't like
