"I don't watch a whole lot of television. In the morning I'll check out the news and weather while I'm having breakfast. And in the evening, after I've settled in, I'll watch a couple hours of sports, politics, weather, and sitcom reruns, before taking the dog outside and going to bed. That's about it.
"But, my confession is this: I'm a serial
channel flipper. With remote in hand, I flip channels constantly, just
about every time a commercial comes on or the program momentarily loses
my interest. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on the drama caused by the multiplication of TV options and
the insecurity the remote control inflicts vis-à-vis the clarity and
stability of the Christian message.
