Americans watch a LOT of television. Or, at least, the TV is turned on a lot. Nielson Media Research says the TV was on more than 8 hours a day in the average home. More here.

In ye olden days, AP or UPI newswire teletypes would spit out a constant stream of paper in newsrooms. Editors or reporters would have to periodically use rulers to tear apart the continuous spool of paper into individual stories. These stories would be sorted into baskets or hooks on the wall. This was called "stripping the wire". In the same way, this blog will attempt to sort through relevant content on the internet to identify and "strip out" items of interest for my students.

I have to admit I am addicted to the feeling of TV. At night I fall asleep with it on..During the day if I'm alone I like it on when I'm doing other things, just to feel like I'm not alone. It has become a habit to turn on the TV when I get home.. even when I never watch it. I barely actually watch shows. I watch "The Office" on Thursdays and thats pretty much the only thing I am committed to. Overall, I prolly do have my TV on most of the day even though I am not paying close attention..p.s and yes of course I do watch the NEWS!!!
