I agree with you. In fact, I got rid of the TV in 2000 and totally love the fact that today we have Netflix and Amazon Prime enabling us to watch as little or as much as we want, when it fits our schedule (not their scheduled programming), NO COMMERCIALS, and the big bonus is that the platforms remember your place on the video for when you choose to return to watch more.

As for the MSM, the majority of the talking heads are a pack of puppets regurgitating what their told to "sell" the sheeple. It's nothing but propaganda pushing the agenda down our throats. LOL! Sorry, I'll step away from the soap box I was working myself up to.

Yes, life is MUCH better without the "news" and the other points you make in your post are spot on as well. The need to stay positive in the midst of this crazy world, change what you can when you can, don't get sucked into the greed or entitled mindsets that are SO common these days, be grateful for the blessings we do have and share the joy everywhere you can.

Enjoyed your post, excellent reading. Thank you for sharing. :)
