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.
