I am done bitching about shit in the news
I'm serious. I just do not care anymore. I mean come on, here are the facts:
I get pissed everytime I watch the news.
Most of the time, I am being lied to anyhow.
I have too much in my my own life that is more important and derves more of my atention.
I am to the point where I don't know who is really telling the truth.
I would rather spend my energies listening to good music or something.
Fuck it! I'm done. I will not be bitching about anything in the news ever again.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

I've felt this way for about the past year. I just feel that the politicians and media are corrupt. Nothing can be done about it, at least by me. I know that if we feel something is wrong, we should try to fix it, but like Kelju I just don't want to spend any energy worrying about it.

I quit watching the news on teevee (and listening on the radio) about 8 years ago. Now I visit three news sites (one of which is an aggregate site) and get a couple of emails with only the headlines.

I'd commit suicide haha. I love watching TV. I don't watch the news though and instead read on the internet for that. Originally Posted by Big Smoothy

I'm down to 1-2 hours per week, 1 hour right now. Lost + Prison Break!
Fuck the news on TV though. I will only watch live debates for things like the election, anything else I get online.

I like to watch sporting events and anything medically related. Other than that, most of the rest is crap.

Me too, I love watching movies especially older movies or movies about artists, like one I watched the other day called Frida I don't know why But I love movies like that, biographical works of people with creative minds I just find it fascinating, more so than if I had read all of her biographies because at the same time I am also taking in the artistry of the filmography and the actors and actresses and everything, I mean I do my fair share of reading, but when I hear people say that they have locked out a whole medium of entertainment and enlightenment it bewilders me how they could do that, I love to have media of all sorts from which to gain my knowledge, news and pleasure....

Oh yeah, and if you are sick of watching the news, then make news, do something new and tell everyone about it, start a blog and report on whatever you want to report on...

Exactly. You can CHOOSE who you get your news from. It'll still piss you off, but at least you won't be lead around blindly. Originally Posted by Jodi

Yeah I haven't had a TV in over a year, but I listen to the news all day long at work. I really need to start listening to good music or audio books. I could be learning and working at the same time.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

I usually learn something new while listening to NPR or HPR on my 30 minute drives to and from work, if not then it's Jazz or an audio book or a speech I downloaded from the net or something interesting to me.... Originally Posted by KelJu

I'm boycotting the news as well. From time to time I still check out news radio just for the laughs, but it usually doesn't take long before I find myself becoming cynical even from that. I absolutely hate the media, and personally I think they will be (or have already been) responcible for the first stage of earth's destruction

Spanish is soooooooo easy to learn and it fucks up the little messican gang bangers when you understand wtf they are saying. Read that NLP book "Frogs Into Princes". For you especially brother K ... that book would be a major milestone. I'd even mail you a copy if you promise to read it before I get back from my trip ... Originally Posted by KelJu

Or better yet read "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas" I'd send you a copy but I'm still unable to figure out where I am after I got back from my last trip..... Originally Posted by BoneCrusher

It's legal and can be found in any "tobacco pipe" wink wink shop, Diviner's Sage just make sure to get the most potent concentration they have, I got the 100X stuff. it's pretty neat, especially for closed eye visuals during meditation..... Originally Posted by BoneCrusher

Alright, I ordered the book 20 minutes ago. If you say the book is that good, I'll believe you. Originally Posted by BoneCrusher

After reading that book, you will know when people are lying to you. You will know if "she" likes you ... and how to lie to her without your body snitching on you. Kinda handy that one Originally Posted by KelJu
