Too bad they don’t really warn you. Their kinda getting more into bait and switch, advertise some minor news story to get you interested and then give you stuff you really wish you didn’t have to hear about all the time. Sure that minor story they lured you in with is there, though not always quite as they advertised it to be, but it’s really short and easy to miss. It’s not that I don’t want to be informed, it’s just that I’m tired of the bait and switch news.

I’d rather watch Andy Griffith reruns and pretend I live in rural America in the 60’s. Just for an hour or so.
