As an apparent prelude to restricting them, the governmedia has decided that even television sets exacerbate the imaginary global warming crisis:

A gas used in the making of flat screen televisions, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), is being blamed for damaging the atmosphere and accelerating global warming. […] The gas, widely used in the manufacture of flat screen TVs, is estimated to be 17,000 times as powerful as carbon dioxide.

Wow, this new menace causes 17,000 times the damage of CO2! Legislation needs to be passed before voters figure out that 17,000 times zero is still zero.

No doubt all flat-screen TVs have already been removed from the mansions of Al Gore and his crusading Hollyweird friends.

Progressives ought to be careful about what they target for their beloved restrictions. Without television to keep them in a brainwashed trance, people might start thinking, and where would the liberal elite be then? Probably hanging from lampposts.
