The thing with reading is that the main point is often buried beneath realms of text. A movie can deliver the same concept in two hours when a book typically takes several days. Another thing with reading is that there's no logical reason why the content you're reading is better than television. If TV can have crap so can books. I have found that reading builds biases better than television. The reason is that reading takes much more effort than television and oftentimes the more effort you spend on something the more bias towards it you develop. I've found that in general if you want to have a larger breadth of knowledge... youtube videos are actually awesome at distilling concepts and getting to the main point. I'm saying this as someone who use to and still actively reads books.
