I've decided to allow myself a summer vacation. Haven't had one since probably 8th grade, after that I had summer jobs.This year, it will be a little different, primarily because I am retired. This year my vacation will be time away from the insanity in Washington, DC.
As I see it, every media outlet reports the news as they prefer to see it, not as it is. They choose to avoid information that goes against their agenda. They over use "breaking news", "bombshell", "this just in", "stunning revelation", etc. to capture our attention for even the most mundane information.
International news, except as it pertains to our President, is pretty much nonexistent. Stories like the mess socialism has created in Venezuela are under reported. Except in rare cases, the activities of Bill or Hillary, George W. or Barack, are of little interest to me.
So, for the summer, I'll check the weather, watch some Andy Griffith reruns, read a book, anything except fuel the media frenzy and my own anxiety.
