Once you get into the habit of having your TV off, you come to realize that 95% of the time you are better off with it off rather than on.
People who have the TV on in the background all day....I think that is a very destructive practice. “Destructive” is too strong a word but I use it for want of a better word and it is not wrong. When you can step back and consider how insidious the messaging and spin is from all the political ads we see....for people who have that thing on in the background all day long, they are exposing themselves to hundreds of thousands of subliminal and overt messages. And I am not being tinfoilish about saying that.
And, really, I don't need the "news" to tell me about the world; I already know what's like.
