everything and anything is going to be distorted by the media anyway.

QFT, my friend, QFT. As in, Quoted For Truth.

This is why I turned off the MSM a decade ago.

Just stop watching. You won't die.

Turn off your television and unplug it. Take the batteries out of the remote and throw them away, they won't fit in the smoke detector anyhow :)

between being careful about getting all your information from the American media and living like you are in the 17th century

A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time

17th century?

CD, the TV didn't come into common household use until after WW2. It is purely a thing of the last 65 years.

And I would point out to you that the very beginnings of the Internet didn't come into being until DARPANET was born some time in the late 1960's.

I'm on the Net all day; I follow the news online.

I know you were speaking rhetorically, but I'm not living in the 17th century, and I'm not a Luddite :)
