Just to ward off any angry retorts, I'm not saying this to you
personally, I'm just giving some unsolicited advice to anyone that
cares to listen. Your post just reminded me of this. <br>
<br>
In times like these, I highly recommend turning the boob tube
off. It's the wrong medium for these kinds of events. The main
reason being that they have to fill the airwaves with *something*,
and if they only have one or two juicy facts, that's what they are
going to chew on continually like a piece of gristle. If you flip
between stations, you'll see the same two or three facts being
chewed on by different commentators. If you are at all
conspiracy minded, you'll also miss whatever "narrative" that
station has chosen upon which to arrange their scant pieces of
information.<br>
<br>
Instead, I recommend finding a nice meta news site on the internet
that you can use to get a wide perspective. I personally have a
circle on Google+ that contains many different news sites, but
there are many other choices. Even just a quick search on Google
News works. The advantage is that you can soak up those scant
pieces of information quickly, without the god-awful spoken bits
being played over-and-over ad nauseum. You can skim articles for
new facts quickly, and you can even get an idea of who is copying
from whom as the same words, sometimes verbatim, are being seen
from news site to news site. As an added bonus, on many sites you
can read user comments which vary from horrible to insightful in
their quality. You sometimes find out that others have some
interesting ideas, most of which you won't see on broadcast TV.
While there are plenty of the worst that humanity can offer in
these comments, there are a lot of comments that deserve extra
scrutiny.<br>
<br>
Anyway, just a thought. If I never spend hours again watching the
same TV news station and the same video clips over and over and
over, I'll be a happy man.<br>
