...stating in effect that it was sad that such a powerful means of communications was used as it was-- he likened it to Gutenburg's press-- (as if nothing had been publish for 400 years but comic books)

I guess I'm not as pessimistic about television as the previous posters. A lot of it has been and still is crap, but people did criticize books, and novels, and film, in the same way many now criticize television. For a medium that has only existed for 50 years, I think it has produced some impressive works of art (not to mention the way it enables the eyes of the world to witness the events that change the world). I have never lived without television and I don't think I'd like to.
