When we watch television, our eyes and ears stretch to other times and places. Television allows us to see, hear, and experience things that are far away.
A television recording does not present to us the world as it is. It reflects the sentiments that prevailed during the time it was made. It shows us financial and political restrictions. It reveals the personal views of the creator.
Television does not simply capture the actions of the people in front of the camera, it affects the hearts and minds of the people watching it at home.
