Answer 1

A television is like having Pandora's box in your house. Yes to all of your question.

Answer 2

It has an extremely strong influence,

Lets look at news

since most people don't know both sides of the story, the viewer is often swayed to the view expressed on the news, since it is often biased to the way the news thinks, therefore, it also becomes the thinking of the people.

Shows:

They see something on TV a lot for their entire lives and they begin to express the same values of the shows they watch, though those values could be unfavourable.  

All of this affects the way they think, how they live, and what they do.  I look at my shcool and see all the mindless zombies running around, I swear, it IS television.  Though not everyone is influenced by it and they will try to see through the veil of bias to see the truth, some will also make their values based on what they think is right.
