Default TV, lazy person's drug

The quality of television has spiraled down. There is literally nothing to watch on it. 24, the new world order propaganda. News, they don't show the real news. Cop shows, sick of cops. House, why don't they just accept that he's right. CSI, Law and Order, NCSI, we get it, bending laws is allowed, train us now for something else. The only thing left to watch are a few shows on Discovery, Animal Planet, and History channels.

Seriously, there used to be time in my life when I didn't watch or listened to news at all. I got all my news from myspace bulletins. Truth movement is in full swing on myspace. I would know what is happening throughout the world, and then I would know what will happen in the next 2 weeks. FOX can't beat that.

The final straw to TV news for me was during Georgia - South Ossetia conflict. That's when FOX news anchor used NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, on South Ossetian little girl and her mother. They told him it was Georgians who attacked first and who were killing innocent civilians trying to escape. Obviously anchor didn't like the doze of truth, after all they were working hard to conceal the Israeli and US sponsored conflict, and during 911 they worked hard to make you believe Osama Bin Ladin attacked us.

My point is, the news you see on TV is crap.

Here is an anti dope. Free internet TV. News, movies, and more.


Livestation | Watch instant, interactive, live TV on your desktop | Download the free Livestation player

They have 2500+ channels (you have to add them).

You download it, install it, and it plays right on your desktop. Best news channel is R.T.. Watching that for 30 minutes gives you stocks, sports, and the real news, no commercials. In comparison, watching 30 minutes of FOX news gives you 15 minutes commercials, then 1 lousy news about something that doesn't even really matter.


So, why am I writing this? I want you guys to take a few steps back and see the forest.

I'm pretty sure most of us agree Fox news sucks.

I try not to watch too much TV, it's a waste of time.

Terminator the sarah connor chroncles
Fringe
Battlestar Gallactica
Crusoe
South park
Used to watch all the stargate sg-1 and atlantis episodes when they were on
I also rent DVDs of some shows, too.


TV does allow the possibility of excercising while watching shows. Or at the very least standing up instead of sitting.

Very cool Jonas. All great shows. I think Fringe is one of the best two new shows this year...

I like to watch satire shows. South park, american dad, the boondocks, family guy and futurama back when they had new episodes. Sci-fi shows are alright too, battlestar and stargate and shows like burn notice when I catch it on.

Im not much of a tv person, i use to be but not so much anymore. I like to indulge in Sex and the City episodes on the occasion. Season 4 is just...hilarious to me, i can watch it a million times over. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert a couple favs...and Family Guy. I use to follow Greys Anatomy but...they are trying to hard this season to stay interesting.
