Same. I stick to my podcasts on YouTube now. I've unsubscribed to all msm accounts. I watch my local news in the mornings during the week, and that's it.
Congrats! You missed two facts and thousands of hours of hand wringing, bed wetting and useless speculation with no call to action. Follow me for more relevant recaps. 😬
I've been gone since Joe & Mika announced they'd been down to kiss the ring of the beast !
I get the real impression, that all of our MSM, has been threatened & bullied, as to what they can say or report to US, about trump & his evil ass doings !
I haven't had cable TV since I built my house 17 years ago. I put an antenna in the attic to get around HOA rules. I haven't missed cable at all, I get about 25 broadcast stations.
I’m a good 120-150 miles from us towers. 100 from Canadian towers. If I knew the antenna I would buy would work it would go up next summer. Digital kinda messed up long distance tv. We used to get Canadian tv on our cable. Rules must have changed. During don old 1st, no longer required to carry
I watch PBS News Hour almost every evening M-Th. It is comprehensive non-biased news coverage in my opinion. As for BBC, I am talking about their US and World news coverage on their website. I rarely see bias there. Would be curious where you see bias. Maybe send a link?
I apologize. My post was very short and overly generalized. I specifically think both have a totally uncritical bias against Israel that was it only that.
Nothing to apologize for. In fairness, a lot of articles in The Economist are editorials rather than news coverage and those tend to have a socially liberal and fiscally conservative bias for sure.
Yes, I read that article. I know there is abuse so I dont doubt the premise. The figures they cite are very surprising. Would need to go back and check their corroborated source.
Dropped cable TV and news over four years ago. Get news from select YouTube channels and TV without ads from streaming services. Actually, paying less with no ads than cable service.
Same and I feel much better. I know when Trump is in office I will need to stay engaged but right now. I can give a fuck. I need a break from Trump. I need a break from the drama.
There are plenty of other ways to stay engaged. I've been doing it for 20-some years now. Non-partisan print media and causes you care about. Find at least one news source that originates from outside the country, for added perspective. You'll get what you need while minimizing emotional anguish.
I just read an article this morning. God help Canada if that happens. Never in my life did I believe Trumpism would take over the US and now expand its arms into Canada.
2,959 days for me. I had to ask Siri to do the math. Nov 8, 2016 was the last day I watched cable news (excluding once a year when I’ve turned it on to watch election results and listen to MSNBC’s election music—I allow myself only those two pleasures).
Me too. I don’t miss it at all. I refuse to go through another 4 years supporting MSM as they continue to spotlight djt’s every freakin’ move. It’s sickening how they continue to justify covering this evil, evil entity. djt’s cannot be considered human.
I just canceled YouTube TV as well. They have a price increase coming and I haven’t watched anything on that platform since the election. So now is a good time to get rid of it.
Exact same scenario with me. The couple of hosts I like from MSNBC I can listen to for free from TuneIn radio or stream the segment from YouTube for free.
Same!!! And I'm SO much better for it. Honestly, I do miss Nicolle. But I couldn't bear to look at her the day after the election, bcuz I knew her look if sick disappointment would mirror mine. 😥😓
I tried MSNBC this morning, after staying away since the election, always like Michael Steele. But I only lasted about 5 minutes before almost vomiting.
D/C'd cable a couple of weeks ago. Realized now watching TV the way we did as kids. Tvs nit on all day. Selective watching. Evening news, a few programs, that it. Don't muss cable at all and saving a hundred bucks a month.
I got rid of cable 14 years ago. I saw the betrayal back then, and you will not miss a thing. In fact, when I visit someone with cable and TV, I think, I was paying $100 a month for this crap?
Samesies. Dropping MSNBC off the go-to TV rotation has improved my mental health, I lost 10 pounds, and have become a better wife and mother. Well, okay, the first one is definitely true.
And that’s good!! We need people still watching PBS and listening to NPR. We pay for those. They need to be shown that funding is good. Congress keeps trying to kill them.
Trump
beat Obama
beat Clinton
beat Biden
beat the Democrats
beat the Nazis
beat the Republicans beat the fake news
beat the corrupt FBI

One yr and one month since I have watched any of the 24/7 talk show hosts with guests and opinions. That's all they are, and for ratings they shit all over this country and helped an old orange mentally unfit ass continue to finish it off. But nobody in power is doing shit to stop it. Pathetic
Shut off all MSM after the attacks on Biden and the total disregard for what the demented trump was up to! It’s mainly independent journalists that are not afraid to say truth to power. That’s who I’m supporting with my money and time!!
Me too.. actually feels pretty good. I’ve been on you tube watching all kinds of things p, anything but politics, I know the traitor will be the biggest crap show and don’t need to hear how bad it will be, it just doesn’t change anything.
Same here. Joe Scarborough is out of the closet, but they're all that way. Real news is the Meidas Touch and some newspapers, not the Washington Post or the NY and LA Times... trump whores.

I haven't watched any newscasts, regularly, for a few years now. I know I am much better for it.
Never going back!

Useless Fodder
I’m more informed and less angry now. 😂
I’m about 34 days. Not even watching “morning show news” now. And I don’t miss them.
But I still have a date with David Muir every night.
Streaming old movies and tv shows from back when the country was mostly sane.
Has Fox News come and taken you to the top of Mount Rushmore to offer you dominion over all lands yet?
When I wanted news about Syria I went to BBC and France24.
They were perfect.
But don't stop. It probably takes at least 60 days to fully detox.
I still look at PBS Newshour.
Keep them doggies rolling
Off the air !
Rawhide !

TRUMP is the Greatest of ALL time
TRUMP is the most Powerful Man on the Planet!!!
Not going back.
There needs to be a death and rebirth of our news media.
All of it.
It’s just video clickbait.
