Jahfin Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The telly failed its goaLS:):) What were it's "goals"? I never knew television had any. Funny to read about when it was first introduced, folks thought it was just a passing fad that would never replace radio. Well, it didn't but it definitely drew some numbers away.

Can't say I agree. I've never read anywhere that TV was supposed to set any standards, much less politically correct ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in everyone's home and being a form of mass media and communication, it should be thought of as a sort of "unwritten constitution" of mass media:):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor does any kind of reporting whether it be via newspapers, radio or any other medium. Some sort of bias is always going to seep in no matter what. There's simply no avoiding it.
