Yes, right now TV is responsible for our children's education.  As for the
2nd question, WE CAN'T trust them.  If Newt Gingrich has his way, I forsee a
"vast wasteland" such as that which Newton Minnow spoke of 35 years ago.  I
really don't think education will be on their agenda unless it would bring
in the max profit--which it doesn't.  Hard Copy and Geraldo does.
 
But then again I am a pessimist and a cynic.
