I know where I stand on issues that matter to me and I know how I'm going to vote. That being said, I made a decision to turn off the news and listen to, watch and think about positive, productive, interesting things today and it was a really nice day! Might try this again tomorrow....... GOOD FOR YOU. One does NOT watch the news any more. You watch opinion (leftest) and propaganda (leftest). TRUMP 2020. Yep, MY mind is also made up. Have a GREAT day sir.

Good for you! If you really want some peace, don't cheat and watch the weather either.

Went this route a few months back and feel measurably better for it. As someone already stated it isn't really news. When you see a clip now after having turned it off for a while it is almost shocking how far from news it really is. I always knew what it was but when I see a clip now it is almost comical how transparent it is. Full blown propaganda, which is disturbing on an even deeper level.

I refuse to watch the news on TV.
It's TOTAL BULLSCHIT!
I get my news from Rush Limbaugh and Lars Larson.
I turn on my TY to watch videos, and that's ALL!

Might try this again tomorrow....... Look, you have to listen to the news reporting favorable to President Trump. The other news is called "Fake News".

Try to catch weather forecast, but I'm well schooled on the virus, so I skip that part.

I really started seeing the media bias during the GW Bush years and has been becoming progressively worse over the years.We also have to remember who was in the Whitehouse for eight years in the 90's.

Tiktok is another great option. Yep, for commies. You should tune in to cnn. Listen to them prove Trump and Putin are in like Flynn. Then you could get on here like Leroy and fill us in.

There is not, nor has there been since my childhood over 60 years ago, any "news" in the news, print or broadcast. All "news" is entirely opinion/spin/propaganda. It baffles me that anyone takes it seriously.

There is nothing interesting to me on TV anymore, much less the news. 3 TVs in the house and two haven’t been turned on in a couple months. The other one the wife occasionally watches chick flicks on Hallmark and Lifetime.
I get my info from a variety online news sources; trying to balance out what is BS and what is real. Any entertainment is streaming or online content. I find amateur content creators on YouTube to be more watchable.

It's because you have removed yourself from the world of being entertained to the world of reality and being productive doing something that gives you some personal satisfaction from your own efforts. Woke up early this morning and went to the range with a new shooter. She wanted to buy her first handgun so we tried out a spectrum of options and she fell in love with the Glock 44. Great place for her start because it was easy for her to operate and it gave her a lot of confidence. I LOVE taking new shooters to the range!
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

The news is basically cancer for your brain at this point.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.
