No. Most people don't sit as close to TV as they do to VDT's. Brodeur's
claim is based on some good epidemiological studies (but not about
VDT's), backed up by some good (but very hard to explain) lab experiments.

If Brodeur were the one making the claims, I wouldn't pay any attention. 
However, there is also evidence from responsible scientists.
