[At the very least, recognize that discussing the television and a certain media overlord around Alastor is a Bad Idea.]
[Alastor takes a deep breath to calm himself, the writing no longer as angry with none of the careless splotches from his previous response.]
At its face value, I'd be annoyed but have no issue with it. Honestly, I see the merits of picture shows in general: We did have news reels and the like when I was alive, after all. It's useful to see photographic or video evidence of current events. Having that be available as easily as a radio broadcast is a useful tool. I may not like the internet either, but I do see it isn't entirely without merit. Unfortunately, the past few decades they've been used to dumb down the masses to the least common denominator rather than provide anything to inform the public or spark more engaging entertainment. And my proverbial hat goes off to those I've heard about on the internet who are trying to replicate the standards of my time.
