re: #136 EmmmieG

I’m not writing off anything. I’m paraphrasing the link you posted. She was talking about media coverage before the Iraq war, and why she didn’t watch it.

Yes, she is speaking of the media:
I watch none. He [former President Bush] sits and listens and I read books, because I know perfectly well that, don’t take offense, that 90 percent of what I hear on television is supposition, when we’re talking about the news.
And he’s not, not as understanding of my pettiness about that.
But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it’s gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose?
Or, I mean, it’s, it’s not relevant.
So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch him suffer.

But the bolded part was her concern.
