It's so inconvenient not paying attention to the mainstream "news". I can't remember who I'm supposed to hate right now!
Who is the enemy?
Is it Russia or Ukraine? Putin, Zelenskyy, or that rogue bald Russian mercenary? They all seem sketchy to me.
Is it the Supreme Courtjesters, Congress, or the President? Why not all of them?
Which "race", sexuality, or ethnic group? Which religion?
Am I supposed to be hating Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or George Soros? (Well, obviously Soros!)
It's all just so confusing.
Wait... I think I should probably hate the mainstream "news" and the archators of every sort they keep promoting and shoving in my face for me to fawn over. They are the real enemies.
That keeps things easier since it is based on what someone is doing, not who they are or where they were born.
The best thing I ever did for my blood pressure was giving up watching "The News". When they aren't lying to your face, they are only telling you part of the story (or ignoring it altogether), depending on where it fits in their agenda. They are the government's propaganda wing, manipulators of people's perceptions.
ReplyDeleteYep. I used to watch the "news" all the time and I was shocked that no one I worked with had a clue of the events that I was sure were important. But, then I stopped watching and it was liberating. Still, I hear about more than I really care to know. I just doubt the story most of the time.
