No I don't. I can be walking down a street minding my own business and a carefully positioned newspaper headline will rudly interrupt my thoughts with it's two-to-three word sensationalism.

And it's not just America. Otherwise I would have said "American media". It's a world problem.[/QUOTE]Yes, you do. The fact that you let it distract you is not the media's problem.
I see stacks and piles of different newspapers every day...the headlines go unseen unless I choose to focus on them...focus grasshopper...it is a conditioning of The Self that can be attained.

I extend a sincere apology for your misunderstanding of my "Welcome to America" remark. I didn't intend to imply that you meant it is just an American problem, I just know that on the streets of New York, one is more likely to be exposed to outdoor news stands than they would be in most any other American city...that still doesn't mean that you have to read them.
