Yup, there is some strange wonderful propaganda going on here. It is also part of the problem by the way.

(38,317 posts)6. Who? What? Life is great without TV! Especially without that imitation news shit.
Okay, I do have a television, but all it does is play movies.
No cable, no satellite, no broadcast. It's a dumb television too. Without the DVD player and Video Cassette player plugged in, it can't do anything but display a big blue screen that says "No Signal."
It's great!
I have no idea who Kathy Griffin is, and I haven't seen or heard a political commercial in years, except for the crap that arrives in my mailbox and goes direct into the recycling bin, and stuff in the local newspaper I pay no attention to.
