Where little Timmy asks something like 'can you explain what's happening in Ukraine?
Well Timmy, here's the explanation. A really bad evil man named Vladimir Putin has control over the russian military and decided to have them kill all the peaceful Ukrainians for no good reason. OK?
How ridiculous.

I don't think we need commercial news to provide a "kids" interpretation of reality. Parent's responsibility. Obvious there will be a lot of stupid interpretations of reality that will be passed on. That's where society culls the anti-socialists.

If the remote control is anywhere near me, I mute them all pretty fast. Good luck doing the same.

Why I love not having a TV. It's not that I don't watch my share of television, it's just that I do it online and almost never see commercials. Lucky me.
