We are a country gone made. My mother and father both WWII veterans passed away in the same year. . .my Dad got very anxious watching the news with what was happening in America. We just didn’t watch the news after I realized how it affected him.
Oops make that a country gone MAD!
Post-War was scary with all the duck and cover but buoyant with expectation. The sixties were our Roaring Twenties, the Wall fell, and we went into space taking incredible pictures.
Computers revolutionized culture but as Merle Haggard opined, “Are the good times really over for good?”

I suffered through the daily MSM attacks on Reagan and Republicans (on tv, radio, and print). No counter arguments in the media.
Endured the kneepad bridgade for the Clinton co-presidency from libtard media in the 90s “To sir with love” and all that rot.
Finally tuned out completely when Obama was being selected not elected in the 2008 primary and straight white couples were disappearing from advertising and series.
10 years later I haven’t looked back.
And in the 90s Ray Bradbury told “me” (the whole audience actually) to tune out on the broadcast news (local and national) saying that there were better sources for information. Consider that the local news rarely dwells on what goes on at City Hall, running some canned national headlines, a car wreck or warehouse fire (police blotter items), some kind of man on the street thing regarding something national or local (at least a few comments), maybe a human interest story or canned medical pharma promotion, sports, weather, and then something light at the end.
