Why every American should buy and own at least one Television

I believe that it is truly Godly to watch the television news among other activities.  I can not understand why some orthodox Jews choose to avoid owning even one Television set.  I do believe that I am accurate to say that some in religious communities, not just Jewish abhor the television set.  They theorize that its going to bring godless influences into their homes.   Don't they have a say over what they are watching?  Just because you dont want a secular influence doesn't mean that you should separate from the world community.  Does not the truth of the universe inspire you?  I must say that forgoing the Television is like asking God to bring you an apple but ensure that there is no such thing as a tree.   Why noone can be earthly at that level, I can not understand.  If you keep the television in one room or in a limited place in your life, you are doing a good job.  We have one room in our home without any electronics.  I would like to keep it that way.
