I'm 20 and I haven't watched TV in about a year now. It was a big waste of time for me...

Keep it up @MoneyDoc, I stopped watching at a pretty similar age and I'm now old enough to be your mom...I only watch the odd movie or maybe a documentary that's been recommended by someone. Personally I've never owned my own TV or paid for cable. TV is just an energy-sucker. I was astounded when I went on vacation with my other half's family and I got to watch ads again, I was reminded how brainwashed "everyone" is.

Title may be offensive but I'm offended myself.

How can anyone watch the news?

This guy died, there was a fire over in that town, construction fell apart, shooting on the other side of the state with 2 dead, major storms taking over parts of the country, the moon had an earthquake, the Bundestag in Germany fell over, kangaroos forgot how to hop...

If these people aren't fear mongering the general population, they are wasting their time with meaningless stories.

If people haven't been brainwashed for decades, this business model wouldn't even be existent. I have a weather app on my desktop and phone and that's all I need.

Sure, a lot of unfortunate stuff happens and it may even hit close to home. But at what point does it really matter? If there was a fire 3 towns away on a street you've never visited, how is that different than a fire 1200 miles away? At the core, its not.

Focus. That's what the sidewalkers lack.

People tend to think they are individual entities but its better to think of yourself as a sponge. You absorb everything and become what you absorb.


the MIND CONTROL PROGRAM has never been stronger. From people getting all up in a tizzy over a small upgrade on a iPhone or people lining up for Chick Filet opening for hours...how can ANYONE call this Progress?

years ago a local TV station devoted one of the half hour news programs for a "Good News" program. It was canned for lack of viewership. :)

Well I didnt read this post until todat at 11 AM, but the magic was at 8 AM in the morning, I wen to bed yesterday at 3 AM listening and reading again TMF , and today I wake up and said... "hell no, I wouldnt spend any more time listening, viewing or reading news" I am happy to see that I am no the only one who did this, Iam not a kind of person that consumes TV or even radio, In deed I dont watch so much TV despite I have free cable and free internet, I prefer to read news, but from today I will stop to consume news, I thought "Rich people always stay tunned of what happen in the world from the news" what a Sidewalker I was and the worst of all that I thought I left the sidewalk a few months ago... Thank you MJ for this wonderfull forum, and thanks to everyone for share their experience with the news "theme"

Haven't watched TV in over a year now! I quit when I was 19... 20 now. I'm being 100% serious... I told myself, besides all the advertisements what do I gain watching TV? Does it bring me income?

I stopped reading the newspapers since finding the forum. The newspapers are freaking full of Sidewalk and Slowlane crap!
