I could not bring myself to watch any of the news shows this AM...

[kentuck]

Instead, I have rented The Motorcycle Diaries and will watch it later today. All this death and religion has gotten me down. Either the nation is going insane or I am going insane. I must escape from this prison.

4. I stopped absolutely after the elections.....

I find that I can not bear to listen to any of the corporate media whores just as I really can not stand to listen to any of the RW leaders
I get my news from reading DU and the articles linked here as well as a few international papers that I try to read regularly. I find that in my communication with other people that I am much more informed than they.

10. Me too.

I tried to listen to NPR yesterday, when I found out the pope had died, but can't stand even them. They started going to the right after 9-11.

7. I did not watch today either

Every once in a while I try to watch just to hear what they are lying about now. But, I always just get angry at the tool pundits and anchors. I have all but stopped all together. MSM is a disgrace. Thank the goddesses for the foreign press and the internet.

11. It is hard enough to maintain sanity

in an insane world, with or without the Telly. For my own mental health's sake, I gave up 90% of TV years ago.
