31. Any contact I might have with the MSM is strictly on my terms

I havent gotten a newspaper since they doubled the price of my home delivery a couple years back. I haven't had cable or network TV since last spring when I took the dish down. If I want to know what the MSM has to say about any subject I can look them up.

So they are no longer a factor for me. I can make my own decisions independent of bullshit from them (I always did anyway but now I don't even have to listen).

I don't think there's anything you can do. They are losing their grip anyway and making themselves irrelevant without any help from us. Just leave them alone.
