More than any other time in our lives, you have options.
It’s your decision what you watch, read or listen to.

That list doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
The time for change is definitely upon us. That should include your news sources … unless you’re satisfied.
And if you are, great.
BUT, if you don’t like the way the news is being reported, either turn it off or find an alternative. Just do me a solid and shut the fuck up about how the “media sucks.”
Not all of it. You have choices now. And they’re pretty easy to find — I just made it a little easier.
