News at 11…
The fade comes back from black, the music cues up and oh how the tension rises, the music holds you downs to your seat as you expect something important and scary to be presented to you. As you sit on the edge of your seat, the newscaster speaks in a tone of voice that could slice through the hardest metal, it upsets you, it scares you, and saddens you as they talk about something horrific, a fire or accident that killed an entire family except two kids.
Your heart sinks to the floor as you feel as if you knew those people your whole life. You try not to cry for people you don’t know… but your heart aches… its sad, as memories of someone you knew had a family member die in a horrific accident or event..
It all comes back in that moment, and your emotions run wild, and in less then 45 seconds it’s all over. Its done, and on to the next story….
A child predator just got out of jail and could be living your area, but more after the break…
Your sit there glued to the TV wondering does he live in my neighborhood, are my kids safe, what do I have to do to keep them safe, oh my god! what do I do?
Then back from the break, you find out that, you know where he is living and your friend lives nearby… you get scared as they tell you about the ages of children that he abused in the past and will likely to re-offend again; and there is nothing you can do.
You panic and call your friend who lives close by and tell her what is on the news, you tell her about this man, word for word form the newscast. Now your friend is scared because she was just about to go to a PTA meeting and leave the kids at home; now she decides to take the kids with her to be safe.

Are you informed of scared?? It is time to make a decision! The decision is yours, live your life informed knowing the truth, without the fear, READ your news.
Why I say read your news is because although there is slant in written news, and takes more time, however the drama, the sounds and the emotion, are removed.
Do not rely on the big media sources to get your news. STOP. They are towing the line, of what they THINK you should know. The media part of the problem, subjecting the news, removing REAL news from the news and covering idiotic topics, that they think people will be interested in.
Stop and think for yourselves.
