Why does everyone get so wrapped up in TV, the media and news and all the negativity around?

Eurgh! I can not stand politics...I hate talking about politics, i don't like knowing about it, i want eff all to do with it. I don't like the news, i don't like TV, i don't like negativity (I know everything i have just said can be seen as negative, but im just saying)...I don't have a TV, i barely watch TV, i like my laptop and radio...And i try to be as productive with my laptop as possible...I love learning new things. Most stuff on TV is a load of repetitive bullcrap! Why i must ask, do people insist on having a giant TV/box planted in the corner of the room and spend a lot of time watching it? People get so wrapped up in soaps and series as if its real life. Why? It baffles me...

@Solitudebluebell: yeah sometimes its worth to just take the pepsi instead of going through the ordeal of asking them if they have coke instead, you feel me?

@MartinTheFirst: Yeah i suppose so actually...But still, why is it so important? It seems like its drummed into us, and i don't believe a word of any of it.

@Solitudebluebell: Oh you dont feel me hehe.. 😅 with that i meant that all the effort youd have to go through every 4th year may just not be worth the small change that choosing between bad and worse would produce.
