My parent's living room is becoming a museum for it. I come to visit and for a few minutes get to experience life through the lens of the legacy media. In their reality, Trump is a Hitlerian figure looming on the electoral horizon, guilty of 91 felonies, who must be cast into prison by any means necessary. COVID 19 is no longer life-threatening for the vaccinated, but RSV and Flu are back so make sure to get vaccinated for all three and wear a mask, and in the future you'll get vaccinated for all of them at once so it'll be great. Time for a commercial break. Here are some expensive products for heart disease, depression, and AIDs, which are apparently totally normal now, even for kids. Now some personal stories about a dreamer who is being separated from their family, a loving gay couple who just want to grow their family, and a well-adjusted kid who needs to transition or they'll die. Quick break and some news from the front about the stalwart Ukraine offensive/defense and how the Republicans are blocking funds needed to combat the Russian Hitler (there are apparently multiple of these Hitler figures running around). Commercial break for insurance, trucks, and iphones. Wrap up the evening with some local sportsball and the weather..
I am with you. I was at my wife's aunt's house for a family Christmas reunion. This is the house my wife's grandfather built himself, a 1930 era Montgomery Wards kit. I'm have a picture of the parlor of this house circa 1965 and it hasn't changed one bit. So I'm sitting on the couch and all of a sudden I jump because the wireless phone next to me rings......
I call it the "legacy media".

Anyway, it's really something else...
Excellent post, reminds me of about 2015 when I still watched faux news. At least the same commercials.
👍
Are you visiting my Mother In-Law?
Good post. People nowadays are truly living in separate realities.
KEKITY KEK!
Obsolete Legacy Media!
