“I was a TV producer at a noncommercial station, and we were producing some good documentaries – on Head Start, on poverty. But I was struck by the children, and the damage that poverty was doing to them. I didn’t think filming them was helping much, so I wondered how we could use TV for them, to teach them.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only way to destroy them is to expose them\u2014to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are.\u201d<\/strong>
