Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 16, 2022

Yeah mom lets go blow some money.

retail therapy, eh!?! – gets my vote…

Holly succumbed a long time ago.

News has turned into celebrity gossip and sports.

To translate Holly, “whatever they’re doing, it’s working.”

Now you know one of the reasons I threw my TV out over a decade ago. The regular shows were full of violence, the shows and news were aimed at an audience with the education of a 5th grader and the attention span of a gnat.

works for me. :)

Finally, some wisdom from the twerp. Of course, if you don’t watch the news, you miss NBC News wrapping up by reusing whatever was on YouTube three days ago.

20 minutes of ominous voices lying about grainy distortions of their political opponents and a used car, plumbing/furnace, and roofing commercial.

The environment, global warming, race relations, lack of spirituality and education…?

There’s no time for that… we need to be told about what some celebrity was seen wearing, or who had cosmetic surgery, or what’s the latest trend on social media… you know, important stuff.

This is what happens when journalism is handled by the entertainment industry.

Typical teed age reaction regardless of the era

you are talking with Holly…what did you expect?

No dear. Market research for your economics class. And calculate the impact of your credit card’s interest rate on your balance. Then determine how much blood you will need to sell.

Plenty of good places on the Internet and cable that covers news.

It seems things HAVE changed since this was written in 1999

The morning news is at least 25 minutes of traffic and weather

She’s right. No one is interested in liberal political propaganda.

That’s one way of coping! :D

She’s sort of right. These days, learn from God what’s important news (Jesus has a plan), give your time, money and prayer to those in need, and then “Head for the mall.”
