He calls it "The Freberg Part-Time Television Plan: A Startling but Perfectly Reasonable Proposal for the De-escalation of Television in a Free Society, Mass Media-wise." The plan calls for a week like this: Monday. Television as usual. Tuesday. The set goes black, but one word shines in the center of the screen: Read...
