This is a short little report/rant from the cable news front by one person unfortunate enough to turn on the "news" for a brief period this morning.
I have oft times felt that my sense of reality did not comport with most of my fellow human beings. Admittedly, this started at an early age. I remember being in kindergarten or first grade and observing my peers contentedly rolling around the playground...and just feeling that I had, somehow, been delivered to the wrong planet. So be it. This feeling faded over time, for the most part, but every now and again, it gets restimulated...not the least cause of this restimulation is television news. So I stay away, for the most part.
Yep. Keep me away from the pundicrats and the bloviators. Occasionally, I'll watch Keith Olbermann. Even more rarely, I'll watch Matthews or Russert. Anything else is liable to result in my mind capsizing...feeling adrift in a malicious universe and entirely at odds with a majority of my fellow human beings. It's an almost inflexible rule. I don't watch it.
