toss the tv or glue the dial to PBS, PBS Hawaii does a great job........
radio and newspapers a good source of food for the imagination as well.... I started reading / discussing the Times over breakfast with my kids 30 years ago - they still read the paper .... NPR pretty harmless as well
TV seems loosely based on exploitation PT Barnum style these days kids need to know the differences of truth and fiction in the media - and be able to decide relevancy - its called critical thinking based on selecting good sources - Is cable really worth a hundy a month?
One pundit i read describes our nation as "the court jester to the world" as all we seem to produce anymore is over the top sensationalism, not much else - oh buying / selling Hana Montana cr*p .... brought us to.....
