I don’t often comment my opinions but I’m curious to hear the arguments for my rationale:
Call it what you want; ignorance, childish, stupid, etc. I don’t pay attention to the news (haven’t for many years now) and I firmly believe it’s okay that I don’t.
So much of what’s presented by the media doesn’t impact my day-to-day life in the slightest. Ex. War in a foreign country is kicking off…what can I do about that? Gas prices go up…am I going to stop getting gas?
When hanging out with friends and family, the larger topics tend to be brought up and that’s how I learn what is going on currently (especially when this happens with different groups of people) without trying.
I also don’t vote because, at this point, I’d consider myself the definition of an uninformed voter.
Sigh I miss my BlackBerry
