Sometimes. I think a variety of interests needs to be in our lives. Some of the things we, or kids for that matter, watch on TV can be very informative. But reading a book allows for the imagination to be exercised, too.

depends which ones!
science, history, documentaires, movies, trivia, discovery.. others.. there is much to be learned. But there is also a lot of useless drunk. There are more engaging ways to learn anyway.

Yes. But I wouldn't make that your only source of learning.

yes, one can learn that American television, even PBS, is not to be taken seriously because television simply exists for people to make lots of money.
Television is a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously.
