Explanation:

The problem seems to be about identifying statements supporting Minow's position on television. The subfield under Social Science, specifically Media and Communication, is relevant as it deals with television content and its analysis. The statements describing the negative content on TV (like game shows, violence, etc.) and the "vast wasteland" comment support Minow's critique of commercial television. Factual statements like the context of his speech (May 9, 1961) and the national debate launched are also related to media history and analysis.

Answer:

The statements supporting Minow's position include: "You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen...", "I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland", "There are some fine children’s shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence", and the factual context about his 1961 speech and the national debate launched. The subfield is Media and Communication (Social Science).
