1. Blow up your TV

Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home

Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
Try to find Jesus
On your own!

OK, I did all this but the last part. Believe me, it's so much better. I have not turned on my TV in over 14 years and didn't even try to watch it for years before that because reception was so bad out here. I wish everyone would at least do that first line...Blow up your TV. This world would be a much better place. Oh yeah, and quit listening to conservative talk radio.

5. I totally agree that 'the media machine' issues forth propaganda

but.....
I have gone without the tv machine for a considerable length.

The image that crosses my mind reading this thread though is 'ostrich with it's head in the sand?'.
"I don't exist because you can't see me."

Right here at DU is where I come for, what appears to be, the straight skinny and refutation/back story of the corpomedia message.
A combination of tv and social media seems, to me, to be a good balance of information.

Thank you DU
