Welcomes to Ignorance is bliss news channel. And tonight on the breaking news show….we gots balloons. Because balloons is just like bubbles that you can hides inside from the reality.
In other news, balloons that float up into the air eventually pop and fall back to earth, where pieces of them are eaten by various birds and animals. Since they can’t digest them, the balloons kill the animals.
Just for the record, ever since there has been news, there have been laments that there’s nothing but bad news out there. That’s because there has always been bad news out there, and people are attracted to it. It IS exhausting, and that’s why it’s important to step away periodically to smell the roses (that have also always been there). However, knowing what’s going on is essential if you want to have any control over your life.
Small example: what would it be like if people hadn’t learned — through the news — that Hurricane Milton was going to be bad? How many more would have died? Of course, the news in this case depended on NOAA which one political party wants to defund — another unhappy thing we learn in the news, but important so we can combat it.

You could just spend your time watching Cat Videos. It’s equally informative and more honest than fake news.

Devastation in Asheville from Helene, and now the wreckage of Milton – it feels apocalyptic.
But just ignore it all, no indication that storms are getting more frequent and more severe.

Can I have a helium balloon? I love those. I put just enough weight on their ribbon so that they float around.

And then Pig turns off the TV, spurring the infotainment industry to go back to addicting sensationalism…

What station do I turn on for this news? (note that I said “turn on” not “switch to” as I stopped watching the news a loooooong time ago.)

On any given day the vast majority of people do not get balloons, so I don’t think this anchor is going to have much credibility.

And plenty of political hot air baloney to blow it up.
