I don’t watch the news. Haven’t for many years. Local, national, international, cable, weekly news magazine shows, fictional, public access, internet, entertainment, political etc.. You name it, I don’t watch it.
You might think I then READ the news. You’d be wrong. I don’t read much of that either – except for the quick headlines on my browser on occasion and the weather update, I don’t read the news either. Believe it or not, although I actively avoid news, I still manage to know most of what is going on in the world. It seems to reach me no matter how much I try to have it not. Yes, we are THAT plugged in now. And if all else fails, if it is bad enough or good enough, it will ineviteably be the first thing someone mentions when I talk to them… “Can you believe…?”
well said.
