Do you think television is making people suffer from Stupidity?

I agree on the fact that it is used to brainwash people. I rarely see a show that talks about thing's that are going on in the world, or good comedy, or just a plain simple show. Today's shows are all about buy this, or buy that, or , and killing. I mostly read,a nd go outside for walks, or go on my laptop. TV isn't much of a big deal to me unless I want to watch a movie.
