But television rarely offered a glimpse at the contents of the lockers.

In contrast, I find that the television often offers a window into the local culture.

In the first week of the invasion, though, television was offering us several story lines at once, none of them very satisfying.

But conventional television offered some gems too good to reduce to a 60-second video download.

High-definition television offers an especially sharp, clear picture, which gives viewers the sense that they are watching programs through a window.

From the first, it was a curiously incongruous set of pictures television offered us.

Still, television sometimes does offer moments that street politics could never match.

When it comes to sports, television does offer one major advantage: you can actually see the game.

The television offered a richly symbolic image at that moment.
