In reply to the discussion: Do yourself a favor and stop watching television news. [View all]Lint Head
(15,064 posts)I am not easily manipulated and throughout my life it has frustrated quite a few people. I believe in accessing everything at my disposal to be knowledgeable. I am influenced by reality. When I walk outside and I see it is not raining I am convinced I will not get wet if I walk outside. If there is a tornado warning it will not come to me in a news paper. I have worked around entertainment and media people all my life and knew long ago that television was a waste land but no more of a waste land than any other form of communication. I don't feel I am doing myself a favor or that I am better than anyone else because I do or do not watch television. People who are easily irritated should stay away from things that are irritating.
Please don't take my reply as an argument. It's just my opinion.
