Our Future

Being "locked in" my abode makes it necessary to watch a lot of tv. Actually being retired is also necessitates watching a lot of tv. 

How many hours can a tv set endure before it says kaput I had enough?

Anyhow, I found general programming extremely poor. It is very hard to find programs that are really entertaining or educational.

For example, BBC America a British TV network broadcasts old American shows, and the same one over and over again. It is a shame when there are good current and former British shows that are genuinely funny.

There are shows like Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld that can be found all over in the programs. Just like Lucy was years ago. They said that any given time of the day Lucy was on somewhere in this country.

I'm not sitting front of the box all day long, but I do watch more than I used to. Actually the box is no longer a correct definition. Just like dialing isn't either and carburetor is also passé. These are words only us, old-timers remember and use. 

Lately, my wife and I watch more political programs as we used to. It is very interesting how the media is divided between Biden and Trump. ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN were openly on the side of the democrats while Fox used to be Trumpist but now it is waltzing backwards. Newsmax is openly on the side of Trump (for now) and it is interesting to watch this last one because it reports things none of the others do.

This proves that media outlets lack conviction but full of chasing the mighty $. Advertising money runs their programming. Today's antichrist is tomorrow's messiah! Funny to see how these commentators turn suddenly 180 degrees with their opinions. And, these are the people we supposed to trust.

The soviets used to censor what could be published. Now the democrats do exactly that. They control what can we, the public should be informed of. That is not a healthy situation but looks like we are heading in that direction. After that comes the elimination of term limits. Watch out!
