Schizophrenic US TV

I don't have the right mindset for American TV any more. In the middle of a political talk show, well focussed, etc.. come the commercials, so that we move from an intelligent, informed, important, intellectual (or so), discussion to the need to go visit the new resort in some sunny luxurious location, followed by an ad for reflief from the devastating pain and consequences of fibromyalgia, and on to other orange juice, cars, and miscellaneous advertizing.

Frankly, I have a friend with fibromyalgia, so I am somewhat aware of how debilitating it is or can be. Can one really squeeze it between luxurious resort and oj? I can't.. I need time between these topics to reflect upon this or that one topic before we move on to the next (in a matter of seconds and with abrupt transitions) and then we are back, minutes later (too late?), to our political issues and the topic before all these unrelated, if not contradictory, advertisements..

No wonder ADD is on the rise, along with attention and concentration problems, focussing on what matters, and overall craziness. You need to be schizophrenic (or even afflicted with multiple personalities) to follow American TV...

Long live PBS where the news goes on uninterrupted... Any other channel one can recommend?

Any bill of law to stop the money machine from destroying the public and in favor of working on the concentration powers of the nation? We could use some these days....

Good luck to us all...
