I don’t listen to the news anymore. I can’t take it.
So now I get my news from fb. I had already heard about Farrah dying, in a peripheral conversation at a Shakespeare discussion today.
But when I got on tonight one of my friends posted about Michael Jackson, Iran, and North Korea too. So I was like… What’s up with MJ and NK?
I looked them up.
MJ is dead at 50.
NK is threatening us with a nuclear fire shower.
Oh goody. Can I shut the news off of fb too?
I thought I was the only one using facebook as a news channel 🙂
I have been getting my news from friends for years now!!! If people are talking about it, then it is probably something I might want to know about. Let others filter through the glut of “news” and let me know what is most important.
