**ALL** television "wrestling" shows....totally fake 'combat', but glorifying and inspiring violence anyway.....and while I'm at it, all "ultimate fighting" shows..NOT fake, but still promoting violence for the sake of it and $$$$$.

And television 'documentaries' with MEGA in the title....mostly detailing of natural disasters, read in a sonorous tone, about why YOU could be blown up, blown away, washed away, flooded out, driven mad, buried alive, eaten, stung, or otherwise treated shabbily by Mother Nature and her forces! Why do I NEED to know in scary detail that Yellowstone Park could erupt and wipe out half the USA? Or that an asteroid could wipe out the other half? If they spent 10% of the time & money educating us on real problems we CAN do something about, rather than on 'possible' problems we (the general public) cannot, we might make some progress.
