Time to Turn Off Trump Media--All of It! [View all]

This morning, on Huffington Post, there were 7 stories about Trump on the front page. Every network, every media site is saturated with Trump. I'm sick to death of this demagogue dominating American news, littering our lives with his self-promoting garbage. Maybe it's time to disconnect and turn off from any and all news. Maybe it's time to boycott in any way we can. Les Moonves, the head of CBS made this statement in speaking of his network's obsession with Trump, "It may not be good for America, but it's good for CBS." Non-stop Trump is distorting our culture. It's making America sick. Time for us to turn away and turn off. After all, baseball season is about to begin, Aljazeera America, the finest journalism I've seen in decades, still has one month left before it disappears, and Free Speech TV broadcasts every day. We are the audience, and we have the power to shape the news. It's time we used it.
