I haven't watched MSM nationwide news in many years. I was tapering down quite a bit on the local coverage in 2019 but stopped watching altogether at the start of Covid last year. By then, even the local Fox affiliate was completely pushing the Dem/progressive agenda.

No I have not stopped. I watch the local broadcast in the morning mainly to see what the weather is going to do. If I watch a national news program its News Nation.

I listen to Fox News morning but I've stopped watching anything else including local news. I do check some of the online news sites

None for me. I don't even watch the local news.
I have weather apps on my phone, they're as good as the network weathermen, and I will open the OAN app occasionally just to see what's going on.

Yep....I have bailed on everything "news" related. I have an on line news feed but I dont get into much, just scan the headlines for potential interest.
I will confess to watching the news in NOLA, since my kid lives there. I need to monitor the local insanity and hurricanes.

Occasionally watch local weather to see if it differs from weather on my phone app,

I watch the local news, that's all

New Orleans is too comical not to watch what the corrupt political pawns try and get away with....

latest example is the Mayor trying to move City Hall to Municipal Auditorium..... which would further destroy Treme.... I'm trying to figure out what major developer wants the land the current City Hall sits on... Thankfully City Council squatted that thought for a least year

Yes. It is better to be uninformed than misinformed.

For years now. I don't even own a TV and I know I'm not missing much.
Good weather app on my phone so I know how to dress the next day. All I need.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Personally - stopped.
I've got TV's on at work. But I don't watch unless its local - and that's only when something catches everyone's attention in the ER to see how busy we're going to get.
On the whole, since COVID, haven't really had the time, nor the interest.

I watch movies or Miami Vice if I can.

I only read the OP.

I wish I’d been out election night. Especially on the internet. I hung on with the bull up to when Biden was sworn in.

Now I am OUT and it has brought some peace.

There is our home here and a few other places I can pick up news that matters.

Otherwise I’ve noped out.

I quit broadcast news. In fact, none of the DFs have used broadcast nor traditional print news in years. Will never trust them again.

Yes! I was thinking about this very thing a couple days ago trying to remember the last time I watched a network news program, or any other news for that matter, and I think it was back when Obama became president.

I stopped watching it years ago mostly, but might watch the local news if I was out of town.

But last year I started actively avoiding it. I will change the radio station if they go to a ten second news break. I won’t even glance at newspaper headlines in the store. Zero news on tv.

Life is better as is my health.

That's the ticket. I'm not drinking their poison.

I watch none whatsoever. Does me absolutely no good. If I don’t read about it here or hear things at work, I don’t have a clue. I won’t even enter in to a conversation about politics or news without interrupting and saying I don’t want to talk about it.
