Tune Out

We keep saying this, and we never do it.

The ONLY way to strangle broadcast media is to NOT WATCH.

Because we are political, we are also tuned in to news.

This HAS to change.


Tune out CNN, MSNBC, fox (yeah right), ABC, and NBC.

This is NOT journalism.

Tune IN to radio, newspapers and internet media.

The truth will set you free and deny the liars access to US!




Thank you.

4. Yes it is! Good point!


Having worked in broadcast news media for many years, I am telling you all.

YOU GET NOTHING BUT LIES AND SPIN FROM TELEVISION NEWS.

17. As a fellow veteran of the broadcast media
You are ABSOLUTELY right. Don't listen to radio, turn off your TV. Watch the AP and international wire services and you'll be far more informed than the vast majority of the nation.

5. I've got Randi on the computer...
And the WhoreNews on the TV...

I'm monitoring their bullshit and I think I've seen Tucker visibly starting to sweat on Crossfire. I want to see if they're getting nervous...

Anyway - drop out? No! When you do that you let conservatives take over your country!

18. Your username reminds me
of something that has been noted: two things that are notable for having come out of Berkeley. LSD and UNIX. That can't be a coincidence. :)

11. I CAN NOT listen to W
I am CRUSHED by this election. I'm sure I'll snap back, but for now, I've turned off the news. I can't bear to WATCH as our worst fears materialize. Of COURSE Ohio was stolen..Diebold TOLD US MONTHS AGO that this would happen. If only we could PROVE IT!

How many times did you hear W crow that HE WAS GONNA WIN!?

I'd love to believe otherwise, but we probably have 4 MORE YEARS of GET OVER IT ahead of us.
