Sobre a televisão

Given the rise of television's influence during his time, I wonder what motivated him to analyze its social effects so deeply. Did current events shape his perspective?

The book made me think about how much of what I see on TV is designed to influence rather than inform. Has anyone else become more skeptical of media sources since?

Since social media has taken over much of the televised content, I'm curious whether his analysis still holds or if new frameworks are needed for digital platforms.
