I hate listening to the news. It's always doom and gloom, or what celebrity did what, ect.
I just listen to music these days.
You just can't avoid news like this though(referring to the healthcare bill) especially when my friend emailed me the march on Washington which is why this thread started in the first place.
I didn't want it to turn into a political war, but I should know better.
What else do these things turn into? Argument is inevitable. I get depressed when I watch any TV, and not just because of current events. I get more depressed at just how depraved our culture has become. :S There's some downright disgusting stuff on freely accessible channels...
Thanks for that Jon! See OMC she did have a family. Money is never worth a human life though.
Well OMC to tell you the truth I don't have a Television in my house at all because of the junk that's on it.
It started getting really bad in the last 10 years really.
What about Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network or Disney Channel or Food Network or the Travel Channel or Discovery Channel or those things? Those are awesome TV.
Can't afford satellite or cable, unfortunately. We went on our first vacation in years this past summer and all had a blast watching History Channel and Scifi in the hotel!
Do you not have anything like Digital TV? Here in the UK most Television installments without cable/satalite just have 4-5 standard channels, but then came the freeview/digital boxes, which are/were a one off payment giving users 80ish channels for free.
Now the boxes are being scrapped and soon only digital TV will be available, meaning everyone will need digital capability Television sets, but get 80+ channels, including radio channels and cheaper, crappy channels like chat and date channels .

We Just switched to DTV not too long ago. It'll take a bit before we make full use of them. But then again, cable/ satellite here have the benefit of not being censored by the FCC, so local channels may remain forever few. I don't know what it's like in the UK.
