There is a La Weekly article from 2007 where he says its about how television destroys interest in reading literature. He says also in other interviews and this is a paraphrase. Books examine a topic at length, giving you extended information. Television gives you condensed information, essentially brief snippets that are often more one's opinions then factual information. "Fahrenheit 451", is how the state feeds the society with what it wants them to know through television, taking away the individual from forming new thoughts outside of what they are told.
