I haven't had much faith in the government for years, regardless if they are democratic or republican they hardly do anything I agree with. I don't read the newspaper, if I ever want to get any access to news, I use the internet but again I rarely do.
Mostly because, I don't care. I'm not exactly bitter but when I've heard the hundredth thing repeated about the same topics by either side with no progress made, it feels more akin to kindergartners having a food fight then actual politics and anything getting done. I've had my own issues to deal with family wise for the last three years, so reading the newspaper and reading another slanderous thing said about this or that, or how more soldiers in Iraq were killed is something I really don't want to read when dealing with nothing but crap for an entire day. Plus I don't believe in them, more newspaper nowadays is slanted by political bias then reporting the ACTUAL news. I don't care if you like or hate bush, hate republicans, hate democrats, hate independents, whatever. Just give me the news without shoving your damn opinion on everything. If I wanted that, I'd fricking ask you.
Eh, maybe I am bitter. I prefer to deal with my own affairs, I keep up enough to know what’s going on the world but I keep to myself and avoid most news. Because most of the time, what I'm subject to on the news just ends up making my blood boil and putting me in a worse mood then I already was.
