One must see something that is offensive first to know what to fast forward. Even a moment of that exposure is not worth it. I’m not sure exactly what it is that is worth paying for when it comes to tv.
But, a thought to ponder….one doesn’t know how emancipating it is to live without a tv unless one tries it. (I grew up with a tv/vcr/movies etc. and it is one of the most liberating feelings I’ve experienced to now in the home I’ve built not be exposed to even the “best” of what the tv offers).
If that is not in your nekudas ha’bechira, I respect that. But at least give it some intellectual honesty and thought.
I agree that TV is not the cause of all bad. The point I was making is imagine how each yiddishe neshama would feel without tv….a deep thought that requires reflection.
