Television in Time of War

Dear Mr. Pipes and all of your readers,
You are quite correct in refusing to "debate" extremists of whatever kind. One does not react to a Dog that Barks.

As you know; TV can be a force for good, more often, however, it is a force for bad. I was impressed by your reference to the words of Conor Cruise O'Brien, which are particularly apt.

Mr. Pipes, stand your ground!
