That's Entertainment!

I have a real problem with the Media. Particularly TV.

People watch way too much TV. It has been called “a wasteland”. That is probably too complimentary. People who are too poor to eat properly, can’t pay their bills, have no money to educate their kids, will have a TV in every room and spend every free moment watching it. Wouldn’t their time be better spent, reading, working, exercising, building an income source? I call TV “The great American income reducer”.

TV News is the worst. Manufactured stories abound. For instance...

Have you ever really known anyone who was involved in a fire because they answered their cell phone while fueling their car? Me neither.But TV news reports would have you believe that people are going up in flames on a daily basis. Now we have local news anchors stripping during the news hour.

Do yourself a favor. Mark on your calendar when “sweeps week” is, and make a vow that you won’t believe anything you hear on TV that week.

There is no such thing as TV News. It’s all entertainment.
