I am going to do an experiment for the next week. I will not read any of the regular news sites I normally visit. I will not watch any type of television news. I will turn off the radio in the car and listen only to The Who Live from Tinley Park, Illinois, and the House of Blues in Chicago. I will not read any daily newspapers. I will not watch any sports channel.
I'll get my news and information only from the magazine and tabloid racks at the grocery store check-out lines, and only from the covers of those publications. I'll update you on the news I read.

Posted by: Philip at April 4, 2004 03:47 PMWhoa! What a coincidence!
Everything I post is from the magazine and tabloid racks at the grocery check outs.
Is that Twilight Zone music I hear playing...

Posted by: Joel at April 5, 2004 02:49 AMGood on you - its all depressing anyway. I have a news portal as my homepage and I only read the headlines.
Posted by: Michelle at April 5, 2004 03:00 PMI know you aren't reading any news this week Bill, but knowing that you are keeping track of the count and all, there is a very fascinating blog I'm reading and perhaps you follow it, too. I like her other perspective for some reality that I don't get from our media... http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/ (sorry I don't know how to make that a real link here for you).
