One reason why I no longer watch cable news is I grew tired of reacting to it like this.

Anyone else feel the same way?

ncgrits.bsky.social•117 days ago

I hate watching the news, but I do it anyway, and on a variety of channels, including those I don't trust. It can be 🤨 and also 🤢, but I need to know.

anushasiva.bsky.social•116 days ago

Despite burning sage, doing TM, drinking herbal teas, I still feel intense anger.

bluetexaskim.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yes. I watch Nicole, Lawrence, Joy, & Stephanie. No morning or midday news.

gruntmusic.bsky.social•116 days ago

I felt like the journalists and educators and lawyers I trusted the most the past few years, were not changing the outcome with their analysis; they were just documenting our descent into dictatorship.

livinonaprayer24.bsky.social•117 days ago

Same.

magmcn.bsky.social•117 days ago

I am like a pinball careening between want-to-know and rage. PBS News Hour, Democracy Now, this here app are my sources now. I don’t feel calmer, but somehow feel better. Don’t ask me to explain.

mschaz.bsky.social•116 days ago

I hope there are moments of diversion, calm, and joy in your life away from all this too.

pseudopigraphia.bsky.social•117 days ago

Corporate media is a barren fact free zone. All of the outlets are owned by right wing oligarchs. You have to support independent reporters and pod casters to get real content.

mariafartaroma.bsky.social•116 days ago

I have not watched a single minute of cable news since October of 2012 after realizing it was a complete waste of my time and made me furious.

chiefsadface.bsky.social•117 days ago

Not since November 4th

levelheaded1.bsky.social•117 days ago

Absolutely, John. I will only watch Lawrence O’Donnell and Rachael, and that’s been in the past few days. The rest are broken records. Lots of folks here have never seen a broken record.

mirek.bsky.social•117 days ago

And yelling at the tv with the questions those so called journalists should have been asking.

416sunshine.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yet I can’t help watching. It’s like a train wreck can’t look away

Don’t watch MSM for that exact reason.

crazycatlady4luv.bsky.social•117 days ago

nwsoftwareguy.bsky.social•117 days ago

I never liked cable news since the 2000's. Fox pretty much made it 'op ed' TV. It's not journalism. It's pundits with no experience or foresight. It's a lot of 'Well I'm not an expert... (But I have something incredibly dumb to say with no basis of factual evidence)'.

leeannlang6.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yes

drmerle.bsky.social•117 days ago

I like to watch @arimelber.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com
They are good. Not watching much news

endora-laduce.bsky.social•116 days ago

I feel betrayed by the news media. Republicans have no problem supporting an old, uniformed, black-hearted crumudgeon. But liberal media did what it ALWAYS DOES; implodes over a MINOR ISSUE, like a STATESMAN working hard to insure our future MOVING like he's 80 years old.
Well...FAFO.
LOYALTY...

seventhick.bsky.social•117 days ago

The fake moral outrage from Joe and Mica was it for me. Havnt watched the news since.

cablomster.bsky.social•117 days ago

Exactly

iammentalfloss.bsky.social•117 days ago

💯. The corporate media are just as complicit in our slide toward fascism as anyone else. The news cycle has become a surface-level performative both sides game. Rinse, repeat, recycle. Complete waste of time. Happy to starve them of streams, clicks, and subscription fees.

tazco.bsky.social•117 days ago

Stopped watching the news when I moved out of my parents' house back in 99. All the negativity in the news is not good for your mental health. Search the news on your own. Fact check what you believe is too good to be true. Don't let the rich news people tell you how it is and how it will be.

louladola64.bsky.social•117 days ago

I’m doing more tunes

paresisting.bsky.social•116 days ago

Haven’t watched since Nov 6 and it feels wonderful

sweetfreedom.bsky.social•117 days ago

I stopped watching in the 90s when a local producer spoke to my local communications chapter about the future of news, which was just infotainment for ratings. 😡

Fortunately, the internet existed and I simply switched to online articles/independent media and never looked back. 😊

deeball77.bsky.social•117 days ago

My wife still watches the local news and the nightly news. I vacate the living room and watch medias touch on YouTube while reading. She understands how bad a job they are doing covering the felon menace.

joannewolff.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yup

sebastian2.bsky.social•117 days ago

I quit all cable news over a year ago.

meg-bsky.bsky.social•117 days ago

Constantly

callanish1.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yeah, i'll give myself a heart attack if I don't take a time out and avoid all news for the sake of my sanity. I just can't handle the intensity level of being aware of what this orange nut job is doing and then seeing how the mainstream media reacts like it's just another ordinary news day.

lionsleeps4ever.bsky.social•117 days ago

DONE.

mcqueenite.bsky.social•117 days ago

in UK tend to watch Aljazeera or France 24 when the MSM of the UK hack me off with their bias to the right as the other two tend to do NEWS not opinions of the anchor or of who owns/runs the channel or the anchor trying to get the cotcha moment to elevate themselves-just give me the news report

chuckieboy.bsky.social•117 days ago

I know how you feel I stop watching also I was having trouble sleeping .

tiny-direwolf.bsky.social•117 days ago

I like The Bulwark and the Meidas brothers. But can’t watch clips of that creature. Mary Trump gives him a chipmunk voice which makes it tolerable.

alstrauss.bsky.social•116 days ago

I stopped watching months ago and am happier.

24x7 politics and lies are unnecessary and harms our country.

eggzbacn.bsky.social•117 days ago

I already swear a lot. I don’t need it to become my entire language.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

eggzbacn.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yeah, I shut off all news late on Nov. 5. Mrs. Eggz and I swore a whole bunch that night.

Sweet pups! I assume those are Tess and Tori?

goldenmargaret.bsky.social•117 days ago

They are! Tess the golden, lived here from the day she was born, and Tori the golden mix mop, who came here from a puppy mill at age 7, now both 10.

Indeed. I had to check myself yesterday bc I am angry w/ implementation of Project 2025. I’m angry 1/2 country willingly voted for a Christian Nat’list. I’m angry those who voted Trumpf didn’t expect or rooted for Project 2025. All should be shamed. Shameful white WOMEN chose men over themselves.

d3rrick.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yes indeed. The last time I watched SkyNews, my television ended up on the lawn.

moriah1121.bsky.social•117 days ago

MSNBC Evening lineup should not be included in the demonization of cable news.

Rachel, Lawrence & Joy are purveyors of facts and truth. Chris too.

bonbuddie74.bsky.social•117 days ago

I don’t have the patience with all the ads.

moriah1121.bsky.social•117 days ago

Understood ~ I suppose it’s a trade off for great information.

janetgreaves45.bsky.social•117 days ago

I am not watching news. I will not look at the orange thing and I can't stand his voice. I am reading what I can of the Star, the Guardian and Reuters.

mimi1016.bsky.social•116 days ago

Haven’t watched cable news since the election. I stay informed without the lies and rhetoric by reading a number of excellent blogs. My list is quite long.

oweninthefirst.bsky.social•117 days ago

As someone with a journalism to degree I totally agree. I was young and poor on my first job, but my GM wanted me to do something unethical. I went on strike. A few hours later the station owner gave me carte blanche. Anchors need to flex. It is literally the unofficial oath they took.

sharkbubbles.bsky.social•117 days ago

Dumped cable 6 years ago been nice because I get better real time on free read notifications. This second time around I will do bluesky last time 2016 to 2020 doing comment surfing and I figured out some of the comments had bad grammar because the page code was in plain English. Biden won

arceevotes.bsky.social•116 days ago

Independent and foreign media are where most people who want truth are going. An example is while the US press were calling Musks Nazi salute a hand gesture, independent and German press called it a Nazi salute. As did others in the foreign press save BBC. But the Guardian called it a nazi salute.

europeusa.bsky.social•117 days ago

Cable news are not watchable, legacy network like ABC , CBS have nothing to watch other than game shows, reality tv and reruns of old shows FBI, NCIS. and CEOs are wondering why people don’t watch Tv anymore. $25 yearly pass to state parks is so much better for my mental state.

That's the point, really. Make the news so awful and bleak that no one can watch it anymore. Trump is succeeding in doing that so he can do what he wants, steal what he wants, fuck off and play golf when he wants. He's trying to distract everyone so he can destroy the Constitution.

I stopped after the election, my husband didn’t enjoy coming home from work to listen to me yelling at the tv. I’m determined to never hear the voice of the 🍊💩 again.

From the day the idiot was elected!

I’ve never been a fan, the talking heads that need to fill every moment of every day with every thought in their heads are exhausting. And when they welcomed back Jeffrey Tobin that really was the final nail in the coffin. Seriously, they couldn’t find ANYONE better than a guy caught doing that?

I stopped watching network and cable news a while ago. Helps with my mental health.

I absolutely feel the same.

debpiercemccabe.bsky.social•116 days ago

Watch very little of it anymore bc it was infuriating what they would & wouldn't cover, & how they presented it. Minimizing some things, getting hysterical over other things, zero coverage of stories we were trying to follow. Also the fear mongering gave us no action steps except hand wringing.

altja.bsky.social•117 days ago

Just reading, not watching any network news

altja.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yes! The public health news is putting me over the edge!

blackgrl71.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yea, at this point it's just "rage-baiting"

geo63.bsky.social•116 days ago

When you start catching them in lies and distortions, it is hard to trust anything they report. The way they bend over backwards to legitimize Trump is too much to sit through. They may have the broadcast power but I have had enough of their games. They are no longer the adults in the room.

t-antony.bsky.social•117 days ago

I should do an ad for Sony TV's.
They can take quite a beating.

shmooferruns.bsky.social•116 days ago

Not unlike Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk, I don't like me when I'm mad. Rage has its place, but I can't imagine it's healthy to exist in a constant state of anger and rage.

I’m getting good insights from a few MSNBC afternoon and evening hosts and guests. Keep in mind that some of us use various sources and means to consume information.

oldbym.bsky.social•116 days ago

Cable news and network news. I am done!

I was applying lipstick the morning that Joe and Mika tried to justify their trip to Mar-a-Largo and it careened off the corner of my mouth when I whipped my head around to the TV.

Every day since the 20th. No national news. Local only,

fairyg.bsky.social•116 days ago

I’m tired of despair, disgust, and sadness.

sherryleigh.bsky.social•117 days ago

I quit watching several years ago. I have about 5 news sources I trust and just read my news now.

staywoke.bsky.social•116 days ago

Yep! I just can't

marcus137.bsky.social•117 days ago

YES

serverroomrelic.bsky.social•116 days ago

I gave up when they repeatedly told us Joe Biden is fit, and perfect, ready to serve, all there, and fit as a fiddle.

Something about watching him in a live debate convinced me otherwise, but I cant quite put my finger on it.

They're all turning into FOX News

danninicole.bsky.social•116 days ago

I'm convinced someone gave Joe Biden something for his cold. But it wasn't a cold pill. He was sabotaged. I'm a Joe Biden stan, which means I've followed him for years and watched everything he's done. That was not normal. He was there but had a harder time finding his words, controlling his stutter

serverroomrelic.bsky.social•116 days ago

I’ve heard he had Covid. That’s possible too!

I did see him interviewed just before he left office and he was normal…

I’m still pissed at him for various reasons. Giving Ukraine a million conditions but giving Israel zero pressure…

We quit cable when “Honey Boo-Boo” became a hit.

Social media does the same shit.

It’s all oligarch’s bs now. Because they own them

daniellecandela.bsky.social•117 days ago

John I haven't watched cable news or read a national newspaper in 7 months. The MSM normalized Trump. He is a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist. I hope they all collapse. I could only hope they would hold Trump to the same scrutinizing and standards as they did Biden.
