It’s been a crazy month since the
inauguration of President Trump. All the
tweets, the media responses to the tweets, the executive orders and more media
furor over the decisions is difficult enough to wade through but then social
media goes stark raving mad. I
understand I am not the only one who is experiencing a form of battle fatigue
with all this nonsense. Hence the
blogging went quiet for a while in order for me to sort through all this
“experience”.
Ultimately I have come to the
conclusion that minimizing social media access would be a positive step and
avoiding comments as much as possible would be ideal. Unfortunately I am not the sort of person
that can let too much stupidity go unnoticed but I am now practicing mental
biting of tongue. I must say that I
enjoyed hearing Dawna Friesen of Global News speak out for journalists in the
days just following the inauguration where she explained that journalists had
never had to tread through this territory before. I’ve already lost track of what incident it
was that caused the furor but it doesn’t really matter. There’s been fodder every single day since he
took office. Can anyone imagine 4 years
of this?
Having discussed the Blue Noise
as I am calling it I hope I can avoid going down this path again at least for
the foreseeable future!
