I have had this quote stuck to my fridge for about 2 1/2 years. But only recently rediscovered it's relevance for my life today. (It's been buried beneath the school lunch menu, phone numbers, birthday invitations, various reminders, cards, etc.)
"Today, with the abundance of books available, it is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read... Feed only on the best. As John Wesley's mother counseled him: 'Avoid whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, takes off your relish for spiritual things, ...increases the authority of the body over the mind'".
------------------Ezra Taft Benson "In His Steps", 1979 Devotional Speeches of the Year
Just something to think on.

This is a timely reminder for all and should includes all media.
