No more CNN
Wednesday AM I finally did what I should have done years ago - I cancelled my expanded-basic Cable. I'll now have just the 3 networks, fox (for sports and Simpsons), PBS and local cable access. No more Wolf, Candy, Daryn, Soledad, that AM bimbo on Headline news...no more Jon Stewart either which is a bummer but I just had to do it. I'll feel much calmer in the long run.

2. good move
this morning I switched from am talk radio to wake to music. I used to listen to the wing nuts to get their perspective. Not anylonger, I just don't want to hear it.

In regards to CNN, you made the right decision. They are absolutely worthless infotainment. Save the money and use it for better causes. I commend you.

4. Thanks for reminding me!
I shut these bastards down months ago but forgot to cancel my super-duper zillion channel cable subscription. I think I'll by a VHF antenna!

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

6. Me too
I quit all cable news, just PBS. Mostly the Internet. I was listening to hate radio prior to the election. Limbaugh, Medved, Ingram etc. I like to get pissed at the radio and drive aggressively. Not now, I preset every am radio channel to NPR and feel much calmer. Media has gone completely right wing for the most part, quit the poison.
