  Israeli Television and the National Agenda
Television, it was believed, would inevitably cause waste in two areas: foreign currency would be required to purchase hundreds of thousands of sets, and an atmosphere of unrestrained consumerism would be generated even if advertising were prohibited.

The final and overriding fear that grips The Downer Channel is that it is unable to develop a strong and singular perspective.
