So, dear readers, I must admit to you that I have been hiding something. I have an addiction. I am addicted to news. I read local and national newspapers, get Email updated from The Washington Post, check BBC News, AlJazeera, The Jerusalem Post, Times of India, etc etc, many many times a day.
CNN lost my readership about a month ago when it took too long to pick through articles about Brittany Spears and exploding fuel trucks to find the news. I decided to give up on the rest of the news sources last week. I don't even listen to NPR Morning Edition, or All Things Considered any more. (Sorry Dad).
I have noticed several things in the last week.
1. Most news is noise.
2. I have stopped taking advil for headaches. No joke, two Advils a day, saved from a fate worse than death.
3. Old habbits die hard. I still type www.cnn.com in the browser without even thinking about it, then have to erase the url and go to webmail.
4. I still find out about important news happenings. Ok clarification, I still find about things that are important to those I interact with on a daily basis.
5.I am more productive at work.
