We all get swept up in whatever flavor the news is promoting. Bill Cosby is a bad guy. Bill Cosby molests women. Bill Cosby's numbers are now up to 35 and trending. Honestly I don't care so much. I don't know the whole story and i never will from television news. I may find an excellent article a few years from now about the allegations and the media response. I don't want television news to inform me the way they do. If we are all joined consciously by the content of television news we are in serious trouble. There are a ridiculous number of stories in the world. I think we need to reorient ourselves and what we do with our time. Sitting in front of the television getting angry is a waste of time.
