I am so tired of Ronald Reagen this...that...everything! in the news!

[icymist]

I can't find a place to get away from this guy! He wasn't even that great an actor for Christ's sake! I'm sick of him! To think that our great nation is honoring a man that knowingly sent a percentage of the world to it's death is sickening! To remember that split screen on his inaugural in 1981, when the Iraian hostages were being released, a deal he had made to get elected with the enemy of this country, ...breathe..... Ronald Reagan is a traitor to the United States of America. There is no way I want this man's facade on money!

1. turn off your tv

a very simple and elegant solution

[icymist]

4. HMnnnn. Easy to say....

I work in a nursing home. Somebody ALWAYS has a television on. I do not have the heart to tell people that may have just months to live, to turn their tv off. I guess I'll just have to to suffer!

18. Talk to your activities director and have a reading hour for the old folks

Read them Al Frankens, "Lying Liars!"

6. Oh, special circumstances

understood.
:)

12. I agree

My husband and I haven't watched cable or network news for 3 days now. We were saddened by Reagan's death and especially Nancy's grieving, but the coverage has been overkill from the start. There is really nothing left to say, but to pay our respects and lay the man to rest.

I think we'll turn the news on next Monday. Things should return to normal by then.

2. tired

button say on---other button says off---hit the off button and read a book or just anything that stimulated the mind---our news reports are all brain dead

[Tosca]

3. It was predictable.

Considering the liberal media and all.

Not.

[Generator]

5. Well if I turn on the box

I make sure the mute button is on, so I don't have to hear all the yadda yadda yadda and usually can flip to something else and not have my eyes stained by seeing his visage.

The cover of Newsweek went in the trash.

By the way, I suggest not turning the TV on at all Friday-which is my plan, in fact, I'm not even turning the computer on. Monday it will all be over at last!

I'm thinking of celebrating my day of non-mourning by going to see the new Garfield movie with my kids.

7. I am more concerned about what is not being shown on the news.

The focus on Reagan has really pulled the attention away from some important issues. The anti-Bush/anti-Iraqi War momentum was building and I am concerned that the momentum has been halted by Reagan's death. Fortunately, it is only June. Things will return to normal and normal isn't good.

8. quit posting about reagan...

and quit reading stupid shit about him.

[icymist]

13. I have to disagree with you gpandas.

Reagan has cause much harm in our community. The way to heal that damage is to talk about it. Now that Ronnie has died, we're talking about it. This man, (Ronnie) has caused much death and damage throughout the world. We are still living this man's legacy now!

[gpandas]

25. i was speaking to om that said she was so tired of reagan shit

not to duers in general

[icymist]

Dupe

9. Turn the TVs Up Really, Really Loud

Say you've got an ear infection or you're partially deaf. Make the poor sucker public take their propaganda in at full blast!

[devinsgram]

10. Boy am I glad other cable stations and DVD's

Haven't seen or heard anything. I'm in heaven.

[sadiesworld]

11. Sorry about your predicament...

I don't see a solution for you other than extra "icy" beverages after your shift!

:beer:

15. "There is no way I want this man's facade on money!"

Don't forget about the new face they will sculpt on Mount Rushmore!:evilgrin:

[ArkDem]

16. Almost makes you wish he was still alive, doesn't it?

[Tracer]

17. When Reagan died ...

... I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. Neither sadness nor happiness. I just don't care.

I've learned a couple of recipes on the Food Channel, and am working my way through the Richard Clarke book.

But what I won't do is watch any of the sanctification of RR on the news channels.

[StayOutTheBushes]

19. Then you must feel something.

[Tracer]

20. I had no emotional reaction over his death.

My reaction to the televised overreaction is to ignore it.

[icymist]

22. You didn't 'feel' anything about Ronald Reagan dying....

because he was already dead. His spirit and anything that was alive in him died somewhere around 1994. These things, which are generally good in Nature, left him then. What you saw die now was everything that was wrong with Reagan.... the good had already left. My good wishes are left with his family. May they find strength now.

[FranMonet]

21. somebody should point out

Someone should point out to the Freepers and the cable news that today is the fourth day that Reagan is still dead and has not been ressurected. Thus Reagan is not god

[newyawker99]

26. Hi FranMonet!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[cestmoi]

23. ITS BEYOND TERRIBLE. However it has inspired me to shut off the

tube. Quitting TV is like quitting smoking the first few days are the hardest. I actually went 10 years without a TV set, in fact I didn't have a TV during Reagan's entire administration, I never saw the dude on TV. I got all my news from newspapers. But since cable is included with my rent I now watch the damn thing and it is mental herion. So this death works well for me. CNN just lost an obsessive viewer.

[myomy]

24. Good this is happening now and will be worn out by Nov.

Shame of it all..

[Piperay]

27. I haven't had the 'news' on

since Raygun croaked and I don't intend to have it on again till the weekend. I can't stomach all that crap, it's just a bunch of pumped up lies. :puke:
