    <body><![CDATA[At times certain people display a sincerity and a congruence with their deepest beliefs that is truly amazing. And often this state is combined with a simplicity of presentation. And the cynical among us might be inclined to laugh. Test yourself on this point if you like. See this video of Fred Rogers testifying before the US Senate: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a41lJIhW7fA" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a41lJIhW7fA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a41lJIhW7...</a><br/><br/>Did you laugh at him at any point? Think he was silly or goofy or a pansy? How did you feel at the end of his speech?<br/><br/>This book by Jerry Mander is a plainspoken exposition on what is wrong with television. It has the same tenor as Fred Rogers' speech before the senate. And though it will say many obvious things, it's worth reading for the well organized thought it contains.]]></body>
