Why do ppl read or listen to this bs?

Nope not my posts but newspapers and news generally? I woke up today and ventured outside to see a neighbour of mine walking up the road with his milk and newspaper. He says to me "its a strange country this". Like he only just found out? I see and hear ppl talking about the recession stuff and how long it will last etc and these same ppl a few years back proudly proclaimed us to be a rich country and of course now they tell us how they predicted what happened? Talk about making themselves feel better.

Stop reading newspapers and watching the news. Go for a walk or listen to some music you havnt heard in years or something. All of this lot, politicians, newspaper and news programs are all reliant on this whole economic bs for sales and looking busy so stop listening to them for your own mental health because all youll get is scare tactics about the next budget etc etc

Speaking of politicians ,for years now they havnt listened to the ppl so its time the ppl didnt listen to them.

what was that again Brian?

I don't know Westie.

I'm a little like this as well. I watch news only when I changing channels and happen to hear something more interesting.
This brings peace of mind on a short term.

But if all people would be like this, what is going to happen?

You will have a few wolfs ruling the place, fighting themselves only in wolf related issues and the poor sheep would not stand a change to ever make themselves heard.

Basically if itb wasnt for the media Westie the govenment would be up to even more shenanigans than they are now. Why make it easier for them. Ok some media takes their biased views onboard when reporting but everyone forms their own opinons on topics etc.

no man im with westie; the media is spun 24/7 by the press handlers for govmt ministers and most of it is BS
the very few exposes of real scandals aby real journos are quickly swept under the carpet by some new ''news'' that the govmt leaks to their pansies in the papers/radio/tv

So yoir saying that the govenment controls the media? All the programs and articals about giving out about the govenment all the strikes and the blaming the govenment for everything is what the govenment wants you to belive

I am with you 100% on this.

Sometimes it is depressing, no question, but the media is hounding corruption and flushing out truth, along with the silliness that they persist with.

Apathy is just going to play into the hands of the banks, churches, and other institutions riddled with abuse and scandals
