I have to agree with your friend about the television. Not only does it parade rampant consumerism in front of our eyes all the time, but the Mass Media puts so much spin on everything that I need Dramamine to watch the news.
So I got rid of my cable and only have network television now, and I took the TV out of my bedroom. If I want to watch something, I'll pop in a DVD. Otherwise, I get my news and whatnot from other sources...like the internet.
And I agree with you on Dr. Phil -- can't stand him!
