Reading allows a person to be exposed to ideas that they do not already know. It is possible to expand a persons understanding of the world by reading books, magazines, newspapers and 'zines. Simply watching TV exposes people to ideas that benefit the corporations that own the networks. For Example: TV News is designed to provide viewers to advertisers. THAT'S THE ENTIRE GOAL. They will say whatever causes people to watch. and they will never show anything that would make someone change the channel.
Books and Magazines and Newspapers and 'zines... show a vastly different array of ideas. It is possible to self publish whatever a writer thinks. and then if they are able to sell copies of their words and drawings they can found a newspaper. For Example: The Berkeley Barb, the Detroit Free Press, The Village Voice... ZAP Comix, and The Whole Earth Catalog.
