I totally see your point and let me clarify a little more about my view on the media. I use to watch the news all the time, local, national, newspapers, etc. I found myself watching and reading repetative and shallow stories that didn't affect or interest me or my goals in life. I have found that if I target news stories I'm interested in from credible sources I can easily filter most of the BS from mass news media outlets. This typically means reading blogs and/or subscribing to newsletters from niche markets that I'm passionate about. I don't intend on living in a cave, but I do plan on shielding myself from as much nonsense as possible. I hope that made sense. Thanks for the comment Casey!

However, I don't agree with your idea about giving up all forms of news and just relying on others to keep you informed. I think we all have a responsibility to be intelligent participants in our society, and part of that responsibility involves monitoring what's happening in the world. We are constantly evolving and, if you want to be a part of that evolution, you have to learn about what's happening. LEARN. Not just overhear. Or get the five-minute rundown from a friend. While cutting out news might make you more productive in the short run, it won't do anything for your long-term productivity and contribution to the world. Hi Jeff,
