I have to admit, there are some *quality* programs on TV. Neither book nor newspaper cover live events like the television does. However, for story telling, I believe that a book does a better job. When I read and see in my mind, for example, what a small boat on a storm-tossed lake looks and feels like, it's feels to me worse than what I see on a television (or movie). What you see in your mind will probably be different, but for you, it will seem just as bad. However, when we see the same thing on TV, one of us is likely to say something like "It's not that bad."
