No news is good news

Listeners turn to music stations: "While pop was a hit in Sydney, where 2DAY FM gained 1.3 ratings points, Melbourne wanted to rock, with 3MMM FM up 1.5 points, and Perth listeners opted for soothing classical sounds, giving ABC Classic FM a 1.5-point rise."

We are not fools. We have reached saturation point on fabricated news, pretend news and engineered news. We are over repetitive stories and the party line. We are tired of the fearfest and the powerlessness of politicians to take action to make our world better. We are fed up with the deaths, the explosions, the roads caving in, the floods, the storms..it's the same old story over and over again and not a single attempt to actually improve the situation. It's just the venue which changes all the time.We know the news off by heart. We are not at all disinclined nor uninterested but we have had enough of hot air and manipulation. We have chosen other things because that way we can grow and move forward. We don't need to be held back by people who refuse to let us move forward...and if music be the food of love, play on!!
