Noam Chomsky, in conversation with David Barsamian, from The Common Good, p.53:

"But it's a little thin to blame TV itself. It isn't a force of nature -- it's the core of the marketing culture, and it's designed to have certian effects. It's not trying to empower you. You don't find messages on TV about how to join a union and do something about the conditions of your life. Over and over again it rams into your head messages designed to destroy your mind and separate you from other people. That eventually has an effect."
