How to watch tv news by Neil Postman revised by Steve Powers

What I have learned so far from this novel, "How To Watch TV News", is that the advertisement is what tv is all about. I had thought from the beginning it was all about us viewers. Putting actors even past actors back on television to display their talents for viewers amusement or entertainment. But its not. We as viewers give the rating companies a chase for their money. "Rating companies do not simply count the viewers of a particular show. As we mentioned earlier, they slice, dice, chop, and crunch the viewer information, then report to advertisers who pay them for their statistics." This was a quote from my novel. And now I can just that this is true. Every time we turn on the tv, we cant watch a tv show or movie without breaks of advertisement.
