Why assume we need media at all westernred? The media is only a frivolity, cake for the plebs, part of societies indulgence in its own immaturity. Who that has anything constructive to do, a life to live would miss knowing it will be 32C today and you can get a 10% discount if you book a flight to Homogeneity Island resort if you book tosday? Knowing refugees float on rafts made out of their children and national discourse stops point blank because a Prime Minister says so, that eating the imported American Lamb that the local supermarket stocks on Australia day is patriotic?

Turn off the TV, walk off the obesity. Turn off the radio, learn to play an instrument. Forget the newspaper read a book
