Why not, while giving your mind a rest during these two weeks, take some time to BECOME your own media, and write articles that you will then distribute throughout the media at the end of your hiatus?

You could document the process, and examine your reasons for taking such action.

You could also address the many failings of the mass media, especially from the past five years, when we could have used them the most, and their corrupted allegiances were glaring.

You could also cover the subjects they would not, and the many facts behind the LIES they disseminate on behalf of their partners.

I'd love to see what you come up with.

Perhaps a site devoted to this action ... ?

good thinking - but go one futher - throw away your tv for good... i did in 2001 and have never regretted it, and have learned to play guitar.

"The media at the end of your hiatus"? To me that means the BBC. In particular the BBC Radio news programmes. Always some arse talking out the end of their hiatus.

Tina has thrown away TV and has learned to play guitar - twice!! (Great).

I threw away/recycled my tiny black/white portable TV in 1997..........and have learned that I do not need to have television.
I have also become increasingly psychotic since.......as a result of too much BBC Radio(news).
Oh,why do I torture myself like this?
Answer. By needing to hear the tripe and lies spouted by Lustig, Naughtie, et al..........in order to challenge and correct it.
But Hey. No media.
Good IDEA.
Suits me(sir).

Eric Blair made me laugh.
