This is what everyone should do to their TV. Your freedom only begins when you destroy the instrument of your brainwashing.
>>>Your freedom only begins when you destroy the instrument of your brainwashing<<<
You know, that could apply to the Internet as well.
Daily Kos, DU, The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, Salon, NYT on line, WP online, the list is endless.
Nowadays the tv also watches and listens to you, at any time for any reason. This is part of “the internet of things” that our CIA is so justly proud of. No state ever dreamed of getting cameras and microphones into every home, and what’s more, have the occupants pay for the bloody things. Orwell predicted it, of course, and Ray Bradbury to an extent.
Living like an animal in the zoo. Another reason to blast the thing.
I remember a few years ago the local news ran “stories” all week about the special Black Friday deals on giant new televisions that like to watch and listen to you and report back to any and all comers with the bread or authority to buy this private information (they left that last part out in the paper).
Pictures showed these ruminants lined up around the block and some in tents waiting for best buy to open up. They were quite proud of their purchases and felt they had gotten excellent deals.
