7. I haven't done corporate media for quite a few years...

I'd turn on MSNBC during special events, occasions, or to catch a favorite person, like Rachel, very once in a while. But when I started seeing less and less difference among all of them... including fox... I just figured I was getting too cynical and it was time to just stay true to myself and read, rather than watch talking heads. I find the news I glean from here at DU is more than enough to keep my blood pressure on "high"... (LOL).

I don't know where we're heading, but at least the whole damned thing will be torn down and by the time the magas decide they've had enough of the economic and social poverty accompanying chaos, they may actually help to build it back better. I doubt it, but I'm feeling a small glimmer of hope tonight. My underlying belief is nothing will ever happen and we're going to have to split into two countries... and I've made my peace with that, even knowing that I'm going to be on the short end of that stick... what with being poor and currently residing in a red state. But tonight, for some reason, a glimmer of something that, at the penultimate moment of chaos, even magas are going to go back to their human roots and say "enough".
