But I listen to satellite radio more than anything else. I have a Sirius/XM subscription so I get the FoxNews feed for Hannity, Tucker, etc.
When a snowstorm is coming, I have no worries. I have firewood, candles, a generator and lots of food. I don't have to watch the 24/7 news coverage - which probably raises blood pressure quite a bit. Instead, when I am snowed in, I listen to classical music and read some good books.
I think most Freepers are negative all the time because they are consuming too much MSM media. They believe in instant gratification and assume that because we haven't had a flood of indictments yet, that nothing is getting done and that everything is wrong. Things that don't happen on their timeline is...unacceptable.
I'm glad I got off that MSM treadmill.
I do think you’re right. I’ve been wondering about the constant drumbeat of negativity, and the only conclusion I could come to is that I don’t watch or listen to MSM. I had TV arount the Clinton impeachment, that was basically it. We’re always ready for no electricity too, as it goes out almost every winter, sometimes a week, could be more. Got the woodstove which we use all the time anyway, propane to cook with, candles, oil lamps but I can’t stand the smell of burning lamp oil. And I can play my guitar in the dark. :-)
