So... this is the first I have heard about this situation. I am not a political person, and I do not know much of what is going on, but I will say this.
The reason I didn't know that this happened is because I have shut myself off from the media. Why? No, it isn't because I am ignorant, or whatever negative lable you wish to attach to my decision. It is because I strongly believe that the media is not good for the mind. As someone said earlier, the media produces fear-tactics and horrible images that cause a clouding of peoples judgements. I really think it is unhealthy for the mass' to be constantly exposed to this sort of material.
I prefer you not to make a judgement call on my choice.
Anyway, with that being said, I think this will simply add more fuel to their fear-fire. I encourage all of you not to be consumed by it. |
I hear yea Theresa.
It's one of the biggest reasons I haven't had cable in the last 7 years or so cause it's a one-eyed brain sucker.
I don't like watching 'the news' but I will (try) and keep myself up to date with what I think is relevant via (mostly political) blogs and such.
The danger there of course is that they can even be more opinionated than the news but at least it's not all negative!
I control how much and when.
No judgement call on my end cause it looks like we're on the same wagon!
