I remember Holden saying that he hated the movies but he always went.
"It was so disgusting I couldn't take my eyes off of it." SO maybe I
think Holden would have watched television because sometimes it's
entertaining and motivating whether good or bad. I enjoy TV programs
even though I think it's phony and mostly valueless. Maybe that's
exactly what Salinger was trying to say of the duality.
