And while I have those, now that I have a child, I question the full need of a tv (trust me I am a tv addict like everyone else, but I have yet to find one show I would want my daughter to see), I just do not feel it is right to even mention to my wife.

You are right. It was not fair to keep it as simple as I described.
The two points I was really trying to get across were:
- Orthodoxy while was getting stricter and the left were moving farther to the left, the gap between did not remain empty.
- Most of the stricter (or right) of the orthodox groups insulate themselves with physical barriers (geography) to try to protect the influences from the outside world while modern orthodox takes a different approach.
