TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don't succeed you won't be in your profession for long. In our society it's not about good or bad. It's about who's on top.
