I share housing with a good friend and for the most part he hibernates in his room with the TV blaring round the clock. I swear he must sleep with it on. He comes out to eat and mope about or check his mail and that's it. Then he pesters me with his worries and sometimes spouts dumb stuff he saw on TV and asks me for an opinion. He's always amazed when I know way more than he does and never watch TV. A week ago he begged me to come to his room to watch some bullshit news and after a bit I just stepped in and watched a bit and started laughing. Old news to people who check with alternative news but for him is was fresh and terrible. The only time you will hear a bit of truth on the news it's because they are trying to get ahead of a story you've already known about for months and then it's heavily slanted.
