Awful commercials mar Channel 10 NEWS


            Watching TV for more than 10 hours a week can be hazardous

    to your health, regular viewers were warned last week. But I suspect

    that the boob tube rots your mind even faster than it ruins your

    body by insidiously transforming you into a couch potato.

              Most sensitive and intelligent people must find those

    relentless TV commercials even more tasteless than the regular

    programming. Channel 10 NEWS - I think - wins the prize for overwhelming

    its paltry, senselessly repetitive " news " with truly sub-idiotic

    commercials. If this advertising really pays off for the sponsors,

    what does that say about the general caliber of the TV audience ?

                  MUST capitalist " democracy " be also a tyranny of

    vulgarity ?  What type of " artist " makes those commercials ?

     I can't imagine this type of commercial prostitute being familiar

    with great art, music , and literature . If they have encountered

    TRUTH & BEAUTY  somewhere in life - how can they not hate themselves ?

               What a challenge for those TV news celebrities to always

    be CUTE -even when presenting the blackest news. SMILING FACES -

    LYING FACES !

                A coffee cup salute to the first one who vomits on

    camera. And not from mere indigestion !

                 Is QUALITY NEWS just asking for too much ? How I

    miss old Walter Cronkite !
