1. This whole "TV is a drug" thing just seems a little blown out of proportion. Yes there are definitely damaging effects from television and stuff that probably shouldn't air. But isn't that true with any form of media? Just about any form of media, there is going to be something out there that brings down the "quality" of the medium. The correlation it has with children, race, class, addiction, etc. can all be said for just about anything.
2. I think people are putting too much blame on everything around them. Who cares if ABC ran a campaign claiming "Watch TV - Don't Worry, You've Got Millions of Brain Cells." It is the responsibility of people to control their habits, decipher reasonable content, and make their own decisions.
