CRASH DIET: No Legacy Media [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

I doubt if I’ll ever forget the morning after . . . and you all know which morning after I’m referring to . . . when I checked my morning news/blogs . . . and I was agast. The news sites were all downright giddy, gloating that he had won.

My wife and I both became ill. With me it was my bowels. It was horrible and I’ll just leave it at that. With my wife it was her lower back. We’ve been operating on fumes for the past week.

When I read this morning that he had already broached the subject with Congress about paving the way for a third term . . . I lost it. We all spent four years being traumatized by this man and it’s only been a week and . . . here we go again.

I then had a heart-to-heart talk with my wife: How can we stay engaged, not walk away, but not be triggered every effing day for the next four years?

We should stop consuming legacy media, she recommended. Perfect, I thought . . . as they’re complicit anyway. We wouldn’t be here if they’d actually done their job. No more TV, no more online or print media from these fuckers.

So, where can we stay informed? This site is a God-send. Thank you all for being here. And I always catch Keith Olbermann here.

For online, I use ProPublica, Ground News and Mother Jones. I follow ResistanceLive on YouTube where every weekday morning ECM helps talk everyone off the ledge, and I also subscribe to The Bulwark, Occupy Democrats and MeidasTouch. I’m also addicted to YouTube movies, but that’s another story.

There are other perfectly legitimate resources, I’m sure.

We are just as much in shock and pain as everyone else here. With all of us hanging tight together we can get through this.

What else are you doing to keep from being triggered?
