Why a Soap Box for TV?

Just to clear up a few things... My expertise in critiquing TV, in all its glory, comes from more than 40 years of experience. Developed from the days of beautiful black and white TV shows, to the now over-commercialised, over-sensationalised, rubbish that appears on the box today, my skills have been honed through strategic study and observation of TV and its development.

I have had the privilege of observing the development of the media on two continents, covering 5 countries... and that's a lot of coverage. I have also watched TV from the days of analogue OTA to Cable to Satellite, all seen as improvements over the other. We'll see.

I am also a sociologist, and take a great deal of pleasure in watching how we (the people) react to what we are fed... in the papers, on the radio, and via TV and Film.

What don't I have? I don't have a tolerance for the garbage that is being fed through this media in a way that is supposed to present it as factual, instructional, evidential, or real. I will attack whatever irks me, and you may read it or not. You may agree or not. What I hope you will do is, if you have an opinion, express it here. That's what the blog is for.

Stay tuned...
