TV is for Movies

My husband and I have stopped watching TV news at night. It offers nothing, and if you are reasonably alert during the day you already know everything you need to know about what happened that might be of interest. Otherwise it's just a bunch of hot-air egomaniacs who think what they have to say matters. (It doesn't, except maybe to their mommies.) And here is something you might find interesting: A friend of mine is a booker for those news shows and she divulged that many guests actually pay to get on those news shows in order to promote their new book, their podcast or whatever.

The news is always the same, differing of course from station to station. Here's what you will miss by not tuning in:

MSNBC: "Trump sucks. He is the worst. He is Hitler. He incited a riot. He is a hateful monster. He was impeached and now he should be tried and sent to jail to rot there." Interviews with a variety of "strategists" will deliver this message in other words but it's always the same message.

CNN: "Trump sucks. He is the worst. He is Hitler. He incited a riot. He is a hateful monster. He was impeached and now he should be tried and sent to jail to rot there." Interviews with a variety of "strategists" will deliver this message in other words but it's always the same message.

FOX News: "All the other news outlets suck. They misreported everything to do with the protest at the Capitol. Last summer there were much worse protests across the country with looters stealing and burning down building and beating people and rioting, and nobody stopped them. The left is out of control and out of ideas, Joe Biden is a demented old fool and Kamala Harris cackles and plays the race card."

So what's TV for? Watching movies. We saw two really great ones this week, both from PIXAR: Soul and Inside Out. Really fun and uplifting!
