People always complain about the degradation of media, but then consume these crappy products anyway. Hate what TLC and reality tv is doing? Stop watching it. Don't even talk about their terrible shows just to make fun of it, because that's exactly what keeps them alive.
Stop buying stupid magazines like US Weekly, People and Newsweek, even if its at the airport and you're bored. Magazines tend to print what will get readers....they don't necessarily care if you respect what's printed as long as you buy it.
Oh, also start supporting good things. Buy that magazine you respect, and watch the show you claim to think is great. There are plenty of great tv shows out there and really solid magazines too (screw Newsweek, buy the Economist).
