Haven't watched any corporate news like MSNBC or CNN [View all]

since Monday night. Not even watching local news. I’ve not seen the felon’s face or heard that nauseating voice since Monday and my blood pressure is greatly reduced over the last few days to where it is back to normal. I was set to watch MSNBC on Tuesday night but I decided to stay away once I started hearing early returns on Sirius Progress radio (Obeidallah and Fugelsang) and I’ve not returned to watching. No Reverend Al or Velshi, no Maddow or Reid, no O’Donnell or Hayes or Wallace…I don’t miss them at all right now. I’m continuing to listen to a few of my favorite podcasts and Sirius Progress radio to commiserate with others who feel like I do during this troubling time. I’m done with MSM for now. Might never go back.
