I understand and see the point you are trying to make and agree with you as far as the media not having anyone’s best interests in mind other than their own.
To close oneself off entirely from the world or the things that we don’t like to see or think about though is not a good approach either.
I think it’s best to try to understand the world, especially the parts we disagree with. After all, without first seeking to understand someone else’s opinions or actions, how can you truly disagree with them?
