Read an excerpt from "television and the public interest" and answer the question. the speech was delivered by newton n. minow,

<h3>Who said television is a extensive wasteland?</h3>

The phrase "vast wasteland" was meant to Minow by his friend, reporter and freelance author John Bartlow Martin. Martin had recently watched twenty straight hours of television as research for a magazine piece, and figured it was "a vast wasteland of junk".
