Hey MSM! "NOT - ONE - 'EFFING' - SECOND

[maxrandb]

Not one “Effing” Second! That’s the amount of time I have spent watching MSNBC, CNN, ABC-CBS-NBC News, 60-Minutes, Meet the Press, Good Morning America, NPR, or any other “so-called” MSM New source since the night of the election. NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND!!

It has taken a bit of will-power, because MSNBC was usually on in my house from waking at 6AM until I went to work at 7AM, and then was back on from 4PM to 8PM, when decent shows would come on. On my days off, MSNBC, or CNN were usually on in the background as I went about chores around the house or made lunch and dinner. But now…NOT ONE FUCKING SECOND!!

I think I fell into the trap like a lot of other Americans. Let’s watch the “news” channels cover Trump 24/7, because you never knew what kind of ignorant crap was going to come out of his orange-hued pie-hole. Besides, it wasn’t like the unqualified, bigoted, racist, sexist, black-hearted con man and Carnival Barker would win the Presidency of the greatest country on earth, but then a strange thing happened. Every racist, hate-filled, sexist piece of bullshit that came out of his mouth was suddenly treated as “normal”. Every attack on minorities, women, gays, fellow-Americans, etc., was treated like it was just the “normal fucking expression” of some mythical “white-working-class” demographic.

- Want to grab women by the pussy? Hell, that’s just like how “Cooter” over at the Sak-o-Suds talks.

- Call immigrants “rapist and murderers”? Hell, that’s just like how Ned the “One-Armed Bartender” over at the “Do-Drop-In” talks.

- Encourage a Communist Country to interfere in our election? Hell, Rush Limbaugh has been preaching for years that Democrats are more evil than Imperial Russia with a FUCKING FORMER KGB Agent at the helm.

Now, the rest of us…Those of us who are parents of an LGBT child, or have a child that’s devoted blood, sweat, tears and large sums of tuition to study science, have to deal with the fact that hatred of our children has been VALIDATED!

NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND!!! Do you fucking hear me MSM???!!! I have NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND for you.

I’ve lost friends and have shunned family members who supported this unqualified jackass. Do you really think it’s that hard to TURN YOU THE FUCK OFF???!!!

But I’m doing more than that.

I don’t have many resources, but I do have time and energy.

In the free time I’ve discovered since I turned off the MSM, I’ve written letters and made phone calls.

For example – In big “blue” cities that went 70-30 for Hillary, why are the most powerful radio stations in those cities spewing nothing but right-wing racism, bigotry and hatred 24/7?

- Why are University of Wisconsin Football and Basketball (or any division 1 University sporting event) broadcast on Clear Channel or Sinclair Communications radio stations that spend 95% of their time tearing down institutions of higher learning and pushing to defund critical research? I heard recently that University of Wisconsin fell out of the top 5 research universities. Why would the Badgers give broadcast rights to Wisconsin football to a station that runs 30 hours of Rush Limbaugh a week?

- The cities and counties that voted for Hillary Clinton account for 65-70% of the nation’s GDP. Why is there nothing but hate radio available on their most powerful and influential radio stations?

- Advertisers on NBC, CBS, ABC etc., - why are you supporting networks that ignore 65% of the Nation’s GDP?
The networks defense for their fellating of Trump seems to be because of ratings and profits. You know what else gets lots of ratings? Fucking Train Wrecks. The only difference here being, normally, networks don’t create the train wrecks they cover, but they sure as hell did here.

NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND!!! I won’t waste ONE – FUCKING – SECOND on MSM news EVER again. I don’t give a flying fuck if they now start doing 24/7 hard-hitting investigations into Trumps finances or his Russian Coup. I don’t give a flying fuck if the Russians are attacking the beaches of Florida and MSNBC is the only source of news that I have…NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND!!!!

I don’t give a flying fuck if they show nothing but Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow going forward. NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND!!!!

The only time I would even consider tuning in is if every network CEO were going to do an exclusive 30 minute apology for the shit they’ve brought forth on this country, resign, give all their fucking wealth to the Food Bank, put on sackcloth and ashes and walked in front of a train.

Until that happens…NOT – ONE – FUCKING – SECOND!!!!

Please join me. You’ll feel a lot better and you’ll find that writing letters and calling advertisers is a noble thing to do.

[Angry Dragon]

1. Fox is the only news worth watching

[bdamomma]

2. why is that?

are they telling the truth?

[Angry Dragon]

12. Once in awhile I think they might

[lunatica]

38. Hope springs eternal!

LOL!

[maxrandb]

5. Didn't mention Fox

because they are what they are and are beyond hope.

Let MSNBC and CNN compete with Fox for the Wingnuts...besides, I NEVER had ONE-FUCKING-SECOND for Faux News

[Angry Dragon]

16. I do not have a tv so I get my information from the radio and DU

[DK504]

76. Thank you Max

You just put all my incoherent screaming and yelling sounds that have been emanating from my blood red anger trying to speak in words other than primal screams. I am still babbling incoherently, but thank you for giving me the words to read off your script.

My brother and I have been talking about making up fliers thanking the Social Security Seniors down here for voting for the guy who will make you homeless and hungry. Something a bit more snappy, but we are really going to put fliers non-stop on the windshields of all the Twit-ler voters.

[Squinch]

6. Did you take a wrong turn back at Breitbart? What do you mean by this?

[Angry Dragon]

17. not in the least

[Squinch]

22. What do you mean, then?

[Angry Dragon]

31. Just a little sarcasm

It is getting harder and harder to hear the facts about anything in the news no matter who you listen to.
The people who read the news seem to be more interested in their ego than their integeity.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

77. People have lost their sense of humor around here Dragon... perhaps, understandable given the election results.

[rivegauche]

80. That's the truth. NOTHING about this is funny to me. nt

[Angry Dragon]

84. In my opinion DDT is going to be the president for the repubs only

and if we lose our humor and sarcasm we are doomed even more.
DDT will go down as the leader that destroyed America
The only hope we have is that so many people wake up that the repubs never get elected again
DDT will never be my president because to be president you have to have respect for the people and he has no respect for me

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

85. I hear ya... that Nazi-loving prick also will NEVER be my president!

[MFM008]

28. Ummmmm

Wow. WRONG. If you think fox is telling the truth you may be a TROLL.

[Angry Dragon]

32. I do not believe I am a troll

[LaydeeBug]

43. FOREIGN OWNED PROPAGANDA SOURCE RIGHT THERE. NT

[Angry Dragon]

46. Part owned by a Muslim

[LaydeeBug]

50. should be spread far and wide just to rub their noses in it. nt

[Angry Dragon]

51. they would never hear it

[LaydeeBug]

53. oh yes they do. I *live* amongst these people...they are NOT gloating. Trust. nt

[MFM008]

52. Mostly owned by

A Murdoch.... or another maggot.

[LaydeeBug]

54. Murdock is not American. nt

[Angry Dragon]

56. yes he is ........... Giuliani pushed his citizenship through in record time

[Angry Dragon]

57. I know that

[Duppers]

48. WTF?

[thejoker123]

3. Yep me too

And I'm a bonified insane political junkie who works from home and ALWAYS has CNN or MSNBC on in the background 24 hours a day. I haven't watched cable news or listened to any radio literally since 2am election night.

I thought it would be impossible, but it's actually been surprisingly easy. I think it's being like an addict who hit bottom, my body just knew there was no way I could physically handle it, especially the normalization of Trump that I knew was coming.

Now I only read a few things every day to keep informed. And while I'm obviously horrified about Trump and the possibilities, I find I am so much less angry now. Even my wife has noticed big time.

Lesson here is cable news is toxic, turn it off.

[Hortensis]

58. Me three. CNN: FIRE TRUMPSTER JEFF ZUCKER!

Then I might consider looking if you were committed to improving. A little hypocritical schmoozing of your viewship about journalistic standards means absolutely nothing.

For those who don't know, Zucker, President of CNN Universal, is a huge, long-time enabler of Trump. It was Zucker who presented a phony glossy, glamorized Trump character to idiot Americans in The Apprentice, then flooded CNN with live Candidate-Trump coverage for many months. Without his promotion of Trump from a ridiculous blowhard, it could not have happened.

About his role, Zucker "has no regrets."

[BlancheSplanchnik]

75. Wow, talk about aiding and abetting the enemy.

I haven't watched tv in ages. No cable, no networks. No NPR. Radio-college music stations or classical.

I hate corporate media.

[Hortensis]

79. Hi. No one can accuse you of aiding this enemy, Blanche.

Congrats. Zucker's pretty pleased with himself, though. Trump has been and is expected to continue to be very good for CNN profiteers.

Only with Trump could tell him, "You're FIRED!" But, of course, Trump was just an employee, Zucker the one personally raking in millions.

Speaking of CNN, I don't watch any more, but I did pause briefly in passing this morning. Three of the low-pay types they fill the day shows with were criticizing Trump for not making Rudy Giuliani Secretary of State. (!) They agreed that he was being unfair and disloyal after all G's demented ranting for him. (My words.) Boy, did they make it easy to keep moving.

[hibbing]

82. me four

I was about at the end anyways listening to all the "expert" political commentators say the same garbage day in and day out. How many times did you hear the word "pivot" during the campaign? I've turned it all off and now it is video games, tunes and my new little kitten.


Peace

[BigDemVoter]

4. Thanks

I live in San Francisco and had wondered why just about all the AM radio stations play Alt-Right shit 24/7. I am certain not many people around here listen to it. . . .
I DO know that an AM station can be transmitted farther than FM, so maybe this shit is designed for those in, say, the Central Valley?

[maxrandb]

7. Maybe if enough people in San Francisco wrote letters

to and called the station, or better yet, call the advertisers of that station, the station could move their operation to a more fitting location, like a dilapidated mobile home 30 miles outside of Fresno with a home-made Trump sign in the front yard.

[BigDemVoter]

9. Gotcha. My printer is on and ready.

[kimbutgar]

30. I was so angry when they got rid of green960 and replaced it with right wing radio.

Now I progressive voices app or listen via my Sirius subscription.

T wadisgusted what they did in San Francisco. I called and complained an the guy sneered at me and said "too bad"!

[progressoid]

8. Me neither.

We turned it off election night too. I didn't watch it much to begin with. My wife was a more frequent viewer.

Gotta say, don't miss it one bit. I can still get the news online.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

10. Media seems to be catching on during this Russia thing

Trump's statements are being largely ignored as the ravings of an insecure idiot, pushed to small-text headlines while top stories are about various people getting behind for the bandwagon for investigation and distress.

[Separation]

55. Mitch McConnell seems to be now

Except for when this was talked about earlier in the year he said if it was made public that he would scream from the rooftops that it was nothing more that a partisan hit job. Guess whose wife now has a cushy new job in the Trump admin? I hope he chokes on his guilt one day (but Im not holding my breath).

[Laffy Kat]

11. It's been a life style change for me, too.

I'm now watching more Netflix and just about anything except the news. I was a MSNBC/CNN 24/7 person and can't take it since the election. They all sicken me now. Even the Sunday New York Times pisses me off. Yesterday's edition of the NYT had profiles of "alt-right" activists. WTF! Legitimizing bigoted, misogynistic, nazis. I'm done.

[robbedvoter]

13. Done this back in 2004

Started the process in 2000, been "clean" for 12 years.

[quakerboy]

86. Im not quite as oldschool

I will admit to having checked in to what was going out as "news" during the previous two presidential elections. But its amazing how much easier it is to be informed if you dont pay any mind to the scandal/yelling point of the day.

[oldtime dfl_er]

14. Me too and guess what?

I feel MUCH MORE INFORMED NOW than I did when I was watching the corporate media all day.

[Warpy]

15. The news habit was an easy one for me to break

even though the evening news had been an ingrained habit from my childhood in the 1950s. At first, I switched over to the only alternative, reruns of The Simpsons. Those kept me better informed than the "news" ever had. Two years later I got a dish and TCM and there was never a reason to tune in the lying bobbleheads.

I admit I tuned in to CNN briefly during the Japanese quake and tsunami, which they were airing live as it rolled across miles of Japanese farmland. Otherwise...nah.

I'll keep the WaPo subscription on my Kindle, check in with the BBC several times a day, listen to RFI when I'm listening to my favorite net radio and occasionally dip a toe into the offshore press. Broadcast "news?" No time for that corporate horse shit.

[SoCalMusicLover]

18. +10,000!

So glad to see that I am not alone. No MSNBC/CNN since 11/10. It has been harder to give up the local news, however, the second they start covering T, I switch the channel.

It's unrealistic, of course, but if everyone who voted for Hillary, refused to watch the "news" channels, they would suffer. That won't be the case though, and though I wish my viewership was missed, it won't be, since the Trainwreck that is the T presidency, will get people to watch these stations, to see what he'll do next.

[kytngirl]

35. Me too

Glad to know it's not just me who is sick of hearing the name Trump! I was a die-hard watcher of Rachel and Lawrence, but I quit after election night. I tried a couple of times but it's all Trump, Trump, Trump - even if it's bad it's still all about him. Good grief, the man isn't even president yet and it's Trump 24/7 on pretty much all the cable news channel.

I've even given up on CBS, ABC, & NBC. Even though they cover more things going on, they always invariably give DJT his five minutes.

Like another reader posted, when I do watch national or local news, as soon as they say his name, I mute the TV.

I've lost friends and acquaintances behind this guy because I could not and cannot wrap my head around the fact that someone I know well would actually cast a vote for a person who has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

[Mika]

19. Russia a communist country? I think not.

Aside from that inaccuracy ...

[world wide wally]

20. Likewise!

I turned off MSNBC on election night when Chris Matthews said "It looks like voters decided they wanted a conservative Supreme Court" on election night and haven't been back since.
That goes for all TV news. I miss Lawrence O'Donnell's insights and sometimes even Rachel. Too bad they're part of the package. But overall, I think it was a very healthy thing to do.

[Augiedog]

21. In my house we got rid of cable tv. We still have the internet service but no more fucking rip off

cable crap. That includes the so called news crap. I'm college educated and am sick of what these traitorous mainstream media fucks have done and continue to do. Fuck'm all, just fuck'm.

[mountain grammy]

23. Stephanie Miller in the morning

John Fuglesang in the afternoon. Then, I bounce around the radio a little. Amazing how much I get done with those headphones in my ears.

[prairierose]

24. I actually shut them all off before the election...

I saw what they were doing and did not want to support their partisan support of trump. Whether they thought it was partisan or not, that was the result. There were a few sows on mnsbc I really liked but I will not give them a second of my time or eyeballs. Let's see how much advertising they can sell when so many fewer people are watching.

[NRaleighLiberal]

25. Welcome to my last 8 years!

[DFW]

26. I have WDR 5 radio and ZDF, occasionally ARD

We don't get American media here.

CNN International is on the cable list somewhere, but it's mostly golf, sailing, contact sports and Richard Quest.

[kimbutgar]

27. I am right where you are

Haven't watched since election night. MSNBC was so in the bag for orange hitler and all negative about Hillary and those damn emails never anything positive. It wa a shark fest there when Comey made his statement about the new emails which turned out bogus.

Saturday they had a protest in my city on the Facebook live stream feed it said 2000 people marching on a Rainy day. Turned to my local news ration not one mention, only about a tree that fell on a roadway and drunk people dressed in Santa clothes bar hopping.

[MFM008]

29. OP

I'm with you.

[BrainMann1]

33. You are wrong my friend Lawrance O'Donnell

gives Trump his kicked butt every night and had always done that. So get your act together. Look it up and start watching at 8pm Central.

[democrank]

34. Lots of good points here, thanks.

I've cut my post-election tv viewing by about 75% and feel so much better. I haven't been to Fox News for more than a decade and now almost never watch Morning Joe, a habit for years.

A while ago, I described the relief I felt after turning off Morning Joe to be something like taking my head out of a vise. Seriously, it felt that good.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

36. No TV here.

So I don't watch any of those.

I listen to Amy Gooodman's Democracy Now, Terry Gross's Fresh Air, The Suzanne Rehm show intermittantly, and the BBC. All on the radio.

I feel as if I'm much better informed than a lot of people.

[Initech]

37. Amen! Next republican who says we have a liberal media gets this:

[Dworkin]

39. Totally agree

Hi,

Yes, a personal loss in all this has been my interest in US politics. I've cleared out so many 'favourites' from my laptop newsfeeds there is almost nothing left. What is the point in watching people impotently watching stuff that turns me off?

No dog in the race, no point. Still look in here though, for emotional reasons.

ATB everyone.

D.

[tavernier]

40. You and I aren't the only ones!

And I believe they are starting to panic because I understand that some of them are attempting to focus on real news instead of circus side shows.

Still not going there.

[lunatica]

41. that's one hell of a righteous rant my friend!

Thanks!

[JCanete]

42. Corporate media absolutely needs to have its wings clipped. Our leadership needs to start saying

this though. It needs to stop pretending it is legitimate and point to the money. This is why being so cozy is a problem. We got the campaign donations but not the favorable coverage. We were propped up to fail. Its important that we keep slightly less than 50 percent of congress because then it looks like, if nothing else, at least we have two parties in constant battle for the direction of our country. "democracy feels great don't it!" And people will continue to ride that money to the top in the Democratic Party and think that it's the way of change and statesmanship, and actual legislative control will always be just out of our grasp...like a greyhound racing after a lure.

[LaydeeBug]

44. me neither. This is how I can tell so easily they were a de facto arm of the fucking KGB. nt

[JCanete]

45. They aren't though, exactly, its just that corporate interests are Transnational. Its all about

taking what we have left. When it comes a point that getting more out of us like trying to get water from a stone, then America can go fuck itself as far as they're concerned.

[Stryder]

47. I watch the local news in the morning

for traffic and weather, but that's about it.
On a lighter note, Go Browns! Putting the 0-16 in 2016.
From a long suffering fan. '73 I think.
But until they win it all or someone pats me in the face with a shovel...
I'll keep waiting til next year.

[sinkingfeeling]

49. I'm with you. I haven't seen even a local news cast since

the night of the election. Never will I be a daily 'consumer' of their half-truths and lies.

[tinrobot]

59. I'm right there with you.

[Tragl1]

60. Kill the television.

Listen to podcasts, BBC, Democracy Now!, BBC 4, Dan Carlin to name a few, theirs so much better journalism being done outside the states.

[Leith]

61. Same Here

One gigantic WTF moment was the time before the election when MSNBC cut off a live speech by Bernie Sanders to go to a speech that orange boy was about to start. Then all that viewers could see was an empty podium for about half an hour.

Ever since, I have that people I trusted just lied to me for no good reason. I used to tune in every evening to watch Chris (Hayes, NOT Matthews), Rachel, and Lawrence (first name basis in my house), but now I can't even stand to turn to that channel. I get my US news from The Guardian and the BBC. American "news" is nothing but propaganda in one form or another.

[uponit7771]

62. +1, .... Well... I'll stop at Reid and Maddow... I'll give em a look if they did that

[maxrandb]

87. Please don't watch Reid or Maddow either

The only way the MSM will get the message is if they start losing viewers and money. Sorry, but that's it! They don't give a fuck that we have Russia influencing our elections. They don't give a flying fuck about science or climate change.

They throw out Reid, Maddow and O'Donnel, in the hopes that we will forget the fact that

- For every one Reid, there are a dozen Chucky Todds
- For every one Maddow, there are a dozen Bill Halperins
- For every one O'Donnel, there are a dozen Andrea "Crypt Keeper" Mitchels

The only way to fix this shit is to hurt them in their wallet. I mean, I guess the protesters could get smart and realize it's not that far from Trump Tower to Rockefeller Plaza and storm the MSNBC Studio, but short of that...it's all "bread and circuses"

[SJMULE]

63. I turned off the MSM ( Cable and Network News) on election night

I refuse to watch even a millisecond of their bullshit going forward about this disastrous administration or the hacking scams that were ignored in the lead up to election day. I even skipped an x-mas party at a friends because I knew I would blast the stupid MF'ers there that I knew voted for the orange ahole. ( I met and worked for DRUMPF in AC in 1991 . I never thought I would detest him as much as I do today.)

[SCantiGOP]

64. You guys do realize

That about half of the posts in this thread could be put up at Brietbart with no editing and they would fit right in.
Not sure I want to join the "don't confuse me with facts" stampede. You need to take the source into account for anything you read or hear anywhere.
Much of Trump's coverage was for the same reason a train wreck or hurricane usually leads off the nightly news.

[maxrandb]

67. Huge difference. I mean"YOOOGE"

Posters on Breitfart are full of shit. Anyone who could have watched the past 12 months of MSM coverage and come to the conclusion that Trump didn't get his balls cupped and fondled while the MSM kissed his ass wasn't paying attention.

You compare DU to Breitfart? What's your KGB call-sign comrade?

[SCantiGOP]

68. No

I was comparing some of the posts in this thread to the bullshit you see on Brietbart. Get it now?

[moreland01]

65. Me too!

I'm right there with ya. Not one F'ing second. I haven't even turned on local news. Only Netflix and HBO Go. I've read more Magazines (Discovery, etc.) since election day that I have in the past year. I'm just not interested in any main stream news of any kind.

But I have written to them and told them to F off and that the only way they'll get me back is if Chuck Todd has a weekly segment called "F'ing Liars" reiterating the week's right-wing lies. Until then, he's dead to me.

Oh, and I dowloaded the Firefox Add-on that changes "rich asshole" to "Some Rich Asshole" all over the internet. I never have to see his name again! Now I'm waiting for the Add-on to change his pictures to cheetohs.

May we all wake up on Dec 20 with a completely new, and positive, outlook!

[TonyPDX]

66. All of the broadcast & cable media have been turned off in my home since

election night, and several people in my orbit say they've done the same thing. I believe this actually might be the death-rattle for what we once called "television." Channels are naturally migrating to content aggregator/producers like Netflix and Amazon. Local channels can be picked up using a cheap antennae if there's a storm approaching or you want the high school football score.

I don't want to continue paying those bastards for piping conservative sewage into my home.

[niyad]

69. thank all that gods and goddesses for DU

[debsy]

70. I believe the message here is "boycott"...

...since I haven't seen the word in the thread. I can tell you - since I have watched Rachel since election night (against my better judgement) - that they are reporting now on the things that they should have been reporting on then. Instead, they focused with idol obsession on empty podiums waiting for the d-word (I can't bring myself to say his name) to show up and with rabid obsession about irrelevant emails. They are completely ignoring the fact that they share a large part of the responsibility for the outcome of this election. And - guess what: just like the d-word, they don't care because their parent companies stand to make HUGE profits from the incoming administration. That is what it is all about. This will be the largest transfer of wealth to the smallest amount of people in the history of the world.

We all sat idly by while they stole the election in 2000. We then protested against the run-up to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but few in the government listened. They had more information than we in the public sphere so they knew damn well there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq yet they went in anyway. Regardless of what we, the people, wanted, they new better. Mitch McConnell and the Republicans decided that they knew best what was good for the country by not letting us decide if it was important that Russia working WITH HIS CAMPAIGN to elect the D-word. The media decided the emails were the ONLY thing in the election that mattered. Nothing else attracted viewership like the emails. Now, we have an electoral college that, in spite of the "revelations" (if you were paying attention you knew this was happening BEFORE the election) and perhaps with an upcoming briefing by the CIA, will legally install the d-word into office and proceed with pillaging the world using our tax dollars to pay for it. Our "democracy" (it is really a republic) was designed to make us believe we have power in government yet we have none. Of course, there are a few exceptions to the rule but, generally speaking, the government is and has always been run by those who have been trained by (think ivy league) the establishment.

The word "boycott" came from the Irish Land League who, in 1880, ostracized Captain Charles Boycott - an "absent landlord" who was given land that had been taken from small farmers and then collected rent from those farmers who could barely eek out a living after paying rent. Read anglo history and you will see a strong pattern that suggests we are and have always been pawns of the uber rich. All of us. The atrocities committed against the Native Americans when Great Britain came to America were a direct result of policies imposed on the Irish for centuries before that. "Plantations" were places where the British sent people to live and steal the land. If the "natives" did not assimilate, they were exterminated. We, as a country, have been promoting those policies all over the globe since the beginning of the United States of America. Manifest Destiny. We are entitled. All of us bear responsibility for where we are today. We choose to ignore what is being done to natives around the globe to satisfy our entitled behavior. We all drive cars (many new, at that), heat our over-sized homes, have closets full of clothes and shoes that we never wear, have electronic gadgets from TVs to iPhones, eat food that was produced inhumanely because agricultural animals are "exempt" from humane treatment, and live in the lap of luxury when compared to the people and other animals around the world who literally give up their lives so that we can have all of this. We are more interested in what we can get than how it is obtained. Every time we buy something new or fill up our gas tanks we are implicitly supporting the policies we express disdain for. The only way to have a real impact on any of the things we object to is to STOP being part of it. Hence, the boycott. My suggestion would be that we start boycotting much more than just the MSM. We should be boycotting all kinds of things from food to clothing to cars to gasoline to ... I could go on almost infinitely. It might be inconvenient but let us stop being so selfish. We should also stop paying taxes. We have "taxation without representation". IMO, it is time we began putting our money where our mouths are and actually taking steps that will have an impact. Step up, people. The planet is dependent upon it.

I know I've spoken in a lot of generalizations here but I felt it was necessary to make a point.

[Cha]

71. You joined me, Max.. I stopped in November 2002..

Imagine all the propaganda I haven't heard.

Thank you! Good on you.. you're not wasting your brain matter anymore.

[LaydeeBug]

72. I haven't watched one iota of broadcast news since election night around 6:30

My mind has been OPENED to the shit these motherfuckers have been pulling.

[Cha]

73. Good on LaydeeBug!

Where the hell would they be if more and more woke up to that fact and they started losing money?

[LaydeeBug]

74. We should be calling every advertiser to ask if they support Russia or the USA.nt

because these are OUR airwaves.

OUR cables.

OUR grids.

Fuck these motherfucking liars.

78. I went one step further......

I cut the cable. Gone. I read a lot more. And when I want to be entertained I watch AcornTV with all British programing.

81. I am with you

I have not watched any network TV, include MSNBC, FUX, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc since the primaries. Only sports on these networks, and to go futher, I will not watch ANYTHING involving Fuckump as long as he is masquerading as president. I will not watch state of the union, news, I will watch a special news bulletin, but once I see its him, I will turn it off....

THE MSM and all their bullshit outlets can go fuck themselves. Im done with that
