3. CNN was my last bastion of somewhat varied news... |
|
and didn't think it was entirely slanted (just mostly), but when the Mideast protests started and then the Japan disasters, there was no more US news. I was trying to find info on Wisconsin online and came upon this site. Thanks for turning me on to MSNBC (although I'm not so sure about Morning Joe). I used to try to get an even perspective, but don't care anymore. Had enough. I find out so much more here. Thanks all. :hi:

5. Just think of the better use of |
|
the money you would save from unsubscribing from your cable/satellite service. Imagine all the commercials you won't have to pay to watch anymore.
Buy DVD sets or movies you like. Watch content on the Net. TV-free is a new state of mind for you and your family and it is like unplugging from the Matrix. I meet more and more people who are doing it.
You get two benefits. Aside from clearing your head of the alpha-inducing, corporate mind-washing insertion, you also make a small, financial vote by not supporting a 24/7 sales and propaganda machine.
