The fact that he was reprimanded when he mentioned to others that he had watched a program on television and also told him television was a waste of time and it rotted the brain clearly proves that they derided television.
There is a long explanation for the word for the second blank after the colon. It says that the people who publicly denied watching television did so to feel superior and they actually watched it privately. The only word that explains this kind of behaviour is duplicity.
