Since dumping Time Warner for, well, nothing, I have taken to watching online TV stations from overseas.

Does anyone ever watch any news from overseas? It's completely different from what we see here. Watch our news and you'd think we were the only country in the world that's in trouble. Watch the news from pretty much any other country in the world and they're talking very seriously about WORLD economy collapse.

You also learn things about our own government that you will never hear from news here. And it's delivered completely different. None of the sensationalist BS you get here. It's just refreshing, and I can't even put my finger on all the reasons why.

The sad part is, a lot of countries idolize us here and follow every stupid Hollywood star and every new song on the pop charts. Yikes!
