I never "watch" any news, though I do subscribe to The Daily Wire and Townhall, so I receive news that way.

On a rare occasion, like President Trump's Speech in FL the other night, I watched Newsmax.

I have a wife who is kind of a news junkie. The local station with a decent weatherman has really lousy news. My stomach can't handle the bias. I don't even know why we honor them by calling it news. Its liberal propaganda. Its what happened as filtered through their lens. So yea, I do hate those bastards, and that's the clean version.

Its just a new version of Pravada here in America. I do have a fair grounding in the Constitution. I have no idea why we have freedom of the press since its used to lie so frequently. The quote posted above was from Samuel Clements/Mark Twain. He was from a time when it was all print, but the fact remains they spend their time slanting everything. You only get their version.

The MSM is just the media wing of the Democrat Party. I'll be generous and say its not all lies. Just their version of how you should view things. NO thanks.

I quit back when the crimson kenyan ran for re-election. TV and radio news both. It was obvious they were in the bag for the democrats.

I don’t actively watch any msm at all. If I hear something word of mouth, I will research it. If I see something worth mentioning, I’ll post at SF. I prefer to pick over data to find the obvious manipulation; a perfect example is the Covid mortality rate. 1.8% is pure, adulterated, hyped up bullshit.

Have you stopped watching "the news" altogether?

Yes I have.

Yes

Yep. Stopped in 2004 or so.

It's not even news, it's propaganda. I can form my own opinion, just give me the facts.

I've found that life has gotten much more enjoyable without the "news."

Yes I have.

Quit cable about a decade ago and the news stations disappeared. Have yet to miss any of them.

I've changed my TV viewing habits entirely, giving up FOX and especially less-useful outlets, but not stopped reading here and online.

We seldom watch much local "news", but do like to watch the local weather. I also use my flying app to compare their weather forecast to the news stations. We'll occasionally watch some fox business news.

I have stopped watching the news many years ago. If it weren’t for my wife who is addicted to Fox, I’d never watch again.

I haven't watched it in a long time. Probably a few years.

If something is going on, I'll check out an Internet feed. Outside of that... Ain't interested.

Especially here in Chicago. Fuckin liberal bastards are way too slanted for my taste.

Stopped watching t.v. decades ago. I read a lot.

I stopped/started several times since the election. About a month ago I gave it all up for good and feel much better for it.

Yes. My mornings are so much nicer listening to the birds while sitting outside enjoying my coffee. I do not miss the morning body counts or the incessant drooling over whatever the latest Hollywood empty head is spewing.

My tolerance runs under 5 minutes before I get pissed off and switch to YouTubes on woodworking techniques. Or fishing with Luiza.

Nope.

I still watch "The News", but I realize it is propaganda.

I always tune in to NBC at 7AM. It's either a knee slapper, or I get pissed and change the channel. By 7:15, if I last that long, I go elsewhere.

The local TV "news" can't even get the weather right.

I rely on talk radio and Fox Business for information.

We shut off the satellite dish in January, and haven't watched the national news since. We watch the local evening news from two different stations live on our computer, but that gets old real quick too.

I check the national news a couple times a day from the Fox & Newsmax websites.

I stopped in 2003 when I got back from Iraq. I was fortunate enough to have direct contact with my family a few times a week while in country and the "news" they watched back home had everything wrong. I knew then that news people were just spinsters trying to garner particular a reaction from the public. More recently, I have tried to get my dad to watch less of the "news" programs. He's a bit of a news whore and I told him that shit will eventually kill him. He gets spun up while watching and I bet his blood pressure shoots so high, you could launch a rocket.
