You nailed it on two points there > IMO.
It’s both funny and disgusting at the same time isn’t it.
I seldom turn on my TV anymore and when I do, it's typically Netflix. I just cannot stand to watch ANY news on TV anymore. I shy away from reading news online, I won't engage in discussion about the news off of FR and I've adopted Ben Franklin's approach: Believe none of what I hear / read and only half of what I actually see for myself.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is so corrupt it's getting increasingly more difficult to live one's life with character and integrity too. Especially when you see what others are getting away with, with all their LIES.
One of these days I'll go to sleep and I won't wake up anymore and that would make me very happy.
