Ignorance is bliss!

Approximately two years ago I took a decision to ignore all TV news broadcasts and most newspaper articles (I've been guilty a couple of times of breaking the rule and paid a high price for that). I still catch the gist of it and I know along which lines the world runs, yet there is no more mass media manipulation, induced fear and paranoia in my life.  Based on my experience so far I can assure you that moderate, controlled ignorance is absolute bliss!
