I'm a recovering news junkie. Thank you for welcoming me to News Junkie Anonymous.
Up until a few months ago I was a news junkie. I read papers on-line from all over the world. I listened to Arabic, Russian, Chinese, British, French and Swiss news programs.
Although I leaned to liberal publications and broadcasts, I also tried to follow the conservative side as well.
I compared versions trying to find what reality was. Whenever possible I tried to fact check.
Before I renounced I was an active American citizen, calling or emailing congressional members several times a week of various legislation. I also wrote letters to newspapers or left messages on websites in other countries.
Lately it has been too much to take in.
- Climate change
- Drone attacks
- Economic idiocy
- Endless wars
- Stupidity
- Ebola
- Drought
- Floods
- Fracking
- Voter suppression
- Inequality
- Lies, lies, lies
Will I relapse?
I don't know.
May I have a cup of coffee now please?
