Personally, I won't say I didn't see television for 10 years. But have to admit that I rarely see television nowadays.
You know what, in my country there are political channels flaming each others and broadcast distorted news. The crazy part is people on both sides believe in what their preferred media said. That now cause deep conflict in my country. Example for the global scale may like CNN and Al-Jazeera.

Back to your post, I think we still lucky enough that we live in time that there are many other ways to received information from the world not only the television and in the future television may not the main media anymore. Steemit is one of the way tho. ;)

But still, thanks to share and maybe to help someone to open eyes.
