About Me

Mediamonitor aka Christie Cantrell: Raleigh, NC, United States; I am passionate about many things and the older I get, the more I find myself expanding my interests. I don't take things at face value, thus I am quite active in researching in order to get to the truth behind the hype and sensationalism. When I have the facts, I'm able to form an educated opinion instead of blindly accepting what is fed to the public through the media. I wanted a forum to share my thoughts on books I've read, movies I've watched, music I love and current events that arise in politics and the media.
