In the wake of our country's biggest disaster, my family and I deleted any and ALL news and political sites from our computers . Yes, even our local news channels bit the dust. Because these outlets helped a maniac, felon, dementia ridden sex offender get into the White House. They did this by constantly lying and "whitewashing" him. (They made America a laughingstock, and we are now the worlds biggest joke.)
IT FELT GOOD. It felt empowering. Think about this--do we NEED to KNOW these things? Will they change by us knowing? Can we FIX them? Knowing will not change anything. Then why look at them?
The only sites we saved are weather and local weather, because this IS something we need to be aware of. There are lots of sites with just weather and no "news"--try the National Weather Service. You can narrow it down to your personal location.
It has been over a week now, and we are all calmer. Then we started hearing from friends and other family members that they, too, had deleted the "news" from their lives, and they are wondering why they didn't do this sooner.
I offer up this challenge---try this for one week. Stay completely oblivious to the news, and see how you feel. It takes a few days to get used to it, but you will feel better. And you will also be sending a message to the "media" that we don't believe them, don't trust them, and don't need them.
And then let's see what happens.
