From the age of 12, I would check the news daily. The BBCnews top 10 most read was my lifeline.
But in recent years, I began to have my doubts. Nothing I read could be empirically verified by myself. I was having to take their* word for it.
*(“their”: referring to multi-billionaire dollar industries, owned by some of the world’s most powerful organisations, dedicated to upholding the status quo and maximising profits.)
Long story short: the Israeli-Hamas fiasco was my breaking point.

It was time to turn off and tune out.
