Television constantly tries to adjust all of my vocabulary. I hear it every day. But, along with this new vocabulary come the world's values. I don't like what the TV does to my vocabulary. And what this new vocabulary does to my values.
TV constantly models put-down humor.
But it's everywhere else as well. The relational modeling of TV is to deride others and criticize and put down loved ones. All this is done for the sake of humor. And it works. It is humorous.
