25. Turning Off the Noise: A Media Blackout Starting January 20

Sat Jan 11, 2025, 11:05 AM

Jan 2025

Per the substack article by Malcom Nance dated December 18, 2024 titled "Forming The New American Resistance" I will be avoiding all corporate media for 72 hours beginning the morning of January 20, 2025.

This will also have to include sites I like and trust like DU because It's going to be a total "shock-and-awe" shit show and the media is going to make things feel soooo much worse.

I don't want to give the corporate media any eyes or clicks during this period and I think it will be better for my mental health to avoid all the gloating and panic that will be flying everywhere during this period.

Consider doing the same to let corporate media know that we are not going to support them as they try to whip everyone into a frenzy and to give yourself a few days of peace and quiet.

There will be 4 years of this so pace yourselves.
