Quitting a Really Bad Habit: The News

Exactly twelve years ago I quit smoking. It wasn't easy, but it was totally worth it!

Today, I decided to quit another addiction, that I've been wanting to get rid of for a long time: The News.

The medial nothingness--we really don't know anything, but consult with self-proclaimed experts all day long, who produce little more than hot air--shows again and again that it's just theater. Who cames up with the most spectacular story, the most terrifying pictures, the scariest speculations.

Facts? Who needs facts?

From now on: I've got it up to here. No more news. I'll certainly know when anything significant happens. But I won't watch, read, browse, waste my time and my mood on news anymore!
