One Good Thing

I finally did it today. I took all the 24 hour news stations off my Favorites list on my TV so I'm not even tempted to stop by them as I surf past. No CNN, no MSNBC, no HNL. Nothing. As soon as they start offering solutions to all the problems they report on I might tune back in, but until that happens, no. It's gotten to the point where everything is so depressing on the news, without even a glimmer of hope, twisted and manipulated to seem apocalyptic, that I just can't listen anymore. Having lost my faith in the media in the Bush administration anyway, I'm surprised I kept these channels on my daily viewing for this long. It feels good to be rid of them. Not as good as it felt to block Fox News, but still, pretty good.

Remember, if you're in the States (sorry, postage) comment here to be entered to win a signed copy of my newest book Woke Up in a Strange Place. And tomorrow from 1-6 pm I take over the reigns of the Dreamspinner Facebook site, with ebook prizes and chats about anything that pops into my head. Come on by!
