The Media - Saving Our Union

It's said that ignorance is bliss. However, that's the same as being proud of walking around with your head in the sand. All your senses are gone. And, this mantra is spreading.

I've heard my friend declare, and with enthusiasm, and pride "I don't watch TV or read the newspaper!"  While there is a lot of garbage on TV, it's important to read newspapers and books. How else will you educate yourself?  Increase your vocabulary for goodness sake.  Oh, here are 2 easy ones, listen to podcasts and books on CD.

Another statement I recently heard is "I wish the media would stop reporting the U.S. President's tweets."       The job of a journalist / media organization is to report. The President is the one who wrote the information, not the journalist. 

Our media isn't going to please everyone, but you shouldn't turn it off completely. Stay informed! You're missing out especially if you're not getting a different perspective from your own.
