The World Channel, PBS

It's seven weeks now into my recovery,
too much couch time and lots of tv..
I stopped my subscription to CNN, no longer
in need of a biased news trend..
My local news channels have kept me in touch,
with the weather, crimes, and opiates too much..
I discovered the World Channel is just what I need,
a global perspective with the most balanced feed..
Penn State offers this broadcast for free and it
comes with wonderful educational documentaries to see..
I love learning about people and cultures I'll never see, on
our wonderful planet with such diversity.
Their journeys, their struggles, their resiliency,
restores my faith in humanity..

You speak from the heart, Nancy. I agree--we learn a lot from other cultures. I too watch PBS (don't know about the World Channel, though)--they are one of a kind. You always find unique themes to write about--a mind of intellect at work.

Beautiful, I didn't know you are recovering, so best wishes. As a writer, researcher, I follow quite alot of news sources word wide. I also like the BBC for some of their documentaries!
