Excerpt from Newton Minow's Speech to National Association of Broadcasters
speech by Newton Minow

5 But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit-and-loss sheet, or rating book to distract you—and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland.
In this speech, television is compared to
