The men who put the TV prohibition in place did so with prayer and a realization of its impact on the average person who would be impacted by its (TV) influence. It was not based on man made principle but rather to protect a Godly principle. Maybe it could be said mans rule placed to maintain Godly principle.

Maybe they drew the line on TV too narrowly and without giving the laity the respect to be able to think for themselves and allow the Holy Spirit to convict. They also didn't consider that EVERYTHING on TV isn't evil and sinful. Many non Christians would agree a lot of the things on TV are morally distasteful and wrong but some aren't. Why ban the whole media?
