BINGO!!!
I still have mine because I enjoy reality shows...you know, others call them cartoons!
There are also other shows I will watch, but I still can see the propaganda in a lot of things.
I think the trick is just watching with your guard up, don't let the crap in but enjoy the pretty colors and all.
