I watch the news.
After eight years of getting my news almost exclusively online, I can stomach watching MSM news programming again.

Thank you, President-Elect Obama, Governor Dean, and the Democratic Party at large.

1. I just realized yesterday.....
...that I could watch the news without bracing myself and feeling anger and frustration. I feel happier and more relaxed in general. Our win was like an anti-depressant vaccination.

2. We were watching the news until we heard more on Prop 8.
America is still too fucked up.

6. give it time....
wait until obama is in office... THEN we will see the intent of the MSM...

keep in mind most MSM outlets gave bush a free pass for about 6 years... i highly doubt thatll happen for obama.

5. I feel the same way. I'm excited that I no longer have to cringe at presidential press conferences.
