2. Here's an easier way... |
|
Throw away your remote.
Then you're television.
Don't buy a newspaper.
Then, you won't give money to the media companies, and you won't be exposed to the advertisers. Or at least, if you are, you'll at least know you aren't patronizing them based upon their support for the media, because you'll be ignoring it.
Help any?

I only suggested how it could be done. I don't follow it!
Even the lies the media currently tells us are tip-offs to dig for deeper truths. Ignoring all corporate news media would be a fools errand, imho, because they won't be stopping one single thing they're doing...you just will no longer know about it. I like to know what the enemy is doing!
