I watch the news maybe 3 or4 time a year. The other night I watch the weather which is part of the news. Most days I just check the weather on the internet.

Not one time since 11.4.2020

Not for years, too many boring stories half-truths to outright lies, then you have to endure 20 minutes of commercials every hour,
no thanks
In today's world, there are too many other outlets to get the news you want

I haven't watched news since I had to watch it 'cause Mom and Dad had to watch freakin' Dan Rather every night. My wife always wanted the local news on and i didn't even like that. I haven't had DirecTv in a couple of years, so there was no way to watch it if I wanted to. But I haven't even watched local news for a long, time...years. Once in awhile if I'm in the Dentist's or Dr's office it'll be on. No way not to watch it.

As most of us know, it's no longer the news. It's propaganda from the left. Journalism is dead in the main stream media.
Posted By: MtnBoomer Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
News? Is there anything happening that isn't total horsechit? Haha. No, no there isn't. Lies and propaganda.

I hit Fox and Breitbart websites a couple of times a week and read the headlines. Try to catch Tucker on Sat radio. That's about it, unless I hear of something specifically interesting. I'm a deplorable and always will be. It's fuucked, I am certain of that.


Will there be another America First movement?
Posted By: sidewinder72 Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I Will Not watch world news ( or what ever story they want to push lies and half truths.down your throat). You can get real news from other sources. Propaganda seems to be what they are all about. Kind of like voting. Urge all to vote, and have a system in place to get rigged results you want. This coun try is being ruined by Lawers and Politicians, One and the same. Only do what is best for the party BS.
Posted By: Rooster7 Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
Nope. Haven't truly watched that depressing crap in years.

I rarely turn on a tv period. I was watching NASCAR up until I finally had enough of the PC crap early last year and gave it up. Already gave up the NFL a few years before that. I might turn the tv on if there's a tornado in the area and I want to see the radar.. just in case.

Last time I saw "the news" was the week of Ohio deer gun season, the week after Thanksgiving, while down at my parents' house. They watch the local news. That was the first I'd seen it in probably a year. I was stunned by the virtue signal signaling- seeing reporterettes standing alone in the middle of deserted streets wearing a mask mumbling something or another barely intelligible. I even saw some commercials featuring people wearing masks mumbling stuff to us.

I do try to catch, "The News And Why It Matters" on The Blaze hosted by Sara Gonzales as much as possible, but I see it on the computer- either through Facebook or Youtube. The live version doesn't come on until my bedtime, so I try to catch it the next night. It's a conservative review of several big topics of the day with a rotating panel of couple guests. They're talking about the stuff I've already heard about from a couple conservative talk shows that I listen to during the day. Sometimes it's nice to have a visual of the clips I heard during the day, and sometimes not. But Sara is easy on the eyes.

I don't care for TV and news is banned if I'm in the room, been that way for some years now. I don't need to listen to lies and propaganda it's a cancer that eats your brain.

I do not.

Not even a little bit.

I run my wife out of my office when she comes in ranting about the democrats...

Tell her I don't watch the news, I don't want to hear about you watching the news either. Also tell her she would be much happier if she wouldn't watch it.

Do listen to conservative talk radio though. But only when it's convenient.
Posted By: lightning Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
There are no more news stations. It's all about shaping public opinion as far left as possible.
Posted By: 12344mag Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I do not, there is no news reporting going on anymore.

My wife turns the TV to catch the weather and when it's done I turn it to something else.
Posted By: Mannlicher Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I turn the local news on at 6:15 to watch the weather. That is all
Posted By: bruinruin Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
Not unless there's something big going on. As for sitting down and watching the evening news, never.
Posted By: Dillonbuck Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
Newsmax, OAN, maybe once or twice a week Fox. Usually Tucker.

If you mean networks?
No.
Recorded 60 Minutes and cherrypicked it until several months ago.
Stopped that.

Used to like CBS Sunday morning, but not for a good while.
Posted By: GBOB Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I would love to watch the news-
If there was such a thing anymore!

Only the local news.

local news. channel 4 has some serious honeys blabbering on about shootings, wrecks, weather and other stuff. but national news can kiss my ass.

Ummm...

You are being fed nothing but propaganda. Period.

If anything of consequence happens, you won't need the evening news to tell you it did.

Just local news. I turn it on right before they show the weather usually. Most often they're wrong about that also. On the plus side the weather girl ain't bad lookin

News is what made people hate Trump and got Biden elected, why watch that crap?
Posted By: OldGrayWolf Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I don’t watch news. I can stay well enough informed by use of the internet, and I have friends who are retired and keep up with everything. No need to watch when I can decide whether or not to answer the phone to get a download of the day’s events. People need to stop watching the propaganda, educate themselves with truth, and live their lives as if the government doesn’t exist to the extent possible.

Give the men in suits the figurative finger every chance you get. They are invaders. Sow the ground they have to cross with salt, poison the wells, leave no shelter intact. Nothing to sustain them on their march. And pick them off at every opportunity, to boot.

I don't know that that's so.

Half the country hated him anyway.

The media hated him.


The other half of the country just hates the half that hates him, and hates the media now as well.

Been stuck in an auto repair place several times in the last couple of weeks, with the tv on. Local news, Dr. Oz, Wendy, Judge Judy. A constant barrage of commercials every few minutes. Can’t believe people actually watch any of this willingly.
Posted By: auk1124 Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
Local news for weather etc.
Posted By: MarineHawk Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
Rarely watch any nightly news.

I often watch the Greg Gutfeld show, which comes on once a week. It's pretty entertaining.

I sometimes watch The Five, which generally has a good set of summaries of the main issues going on and has a fairly pro-trump pro-conservative bent to it.

I record those automatically and watch them without commercials.

I sometimes leave the Fox Business Channel on during the day. It's a bit more straight-forward than Fox News, and I don't have to hear stories about how some dog saved a cat from drowning or something like that.

Stopped watching about half way through Trumps presidency. And stopped watching the late night communist/comedienne shows as well. The only local news I watch is the weather.

Local is just as bad as national/international.
Posted By: HuntnShoot Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I'd rather be poorly informed than intentionally misinformed. I quit watching the "news" during the first Obama Administration, when I saw with stark clarity that it wasn't news, but propaganda parroted by every media organization. I switched to somewhat independent internet media at that point, but those have been winnowed away as well, so now I don't really bother. I know what's happening, anyway, and why.

It would be nice if the local tv could get a decent looking weather gal to look at just smart enough to look out the window before talking about the weather but the news? Pure liberal socialist PC propaganda bullshit fug em. Mb
Posted By: PaulBarnard Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
Nope. I rarely turn the TV on at all. If it is on somewhere like in the gym or a waiting room, I might look at it.

Almost nothing done 11/4. Down to Tucker and Rush, Whoever is going to take his place.
Posted By: There_Ya_Go Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I think I quit watching the national newcasts at the beginning of the Clinton administration, other than a bit during exceptional events, like 9-11 or during hurricane threats. Have never had cable or satellite, so options were and are very limited. So I chose E, none of the above. Don't regret it for a bit. I can get weather from the internet; with the politicization of sports, I don't watch games on TV anymore, so no need to watch the sports segment now, so even the local news is a no-watch. I miss out on local news for the most part, but can't see that it matters.

seems to be unanimous!!! I agree. There are a number of places on the Internet where non Commie information can be found, but I had to search for it - and not with Google (also corrupted) !

The local news (excepting the weather) went south in Dallas years ago and became indoctrination videos! Also true for the commercials. No thanks!
Posted By: lvmiker Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I watch local and network news and surf the net, information is valuable if you can differentiate truth from propaganda.

If your values and actions can be shaped by network propaganda you should probably seek other sources but will be too ignorant to realize it.

Actually sit down and watch the news ? Going past 20 years now. I haven’t had a TV in my home since 2003 and it hadn’t been turned on to watch broadcast anything in years before that. I’d watch a few movies on dvd back then.
I catch a clip here and there when out or see something on the Internet.
Posted By: efw Re: Best Honest.. - 02/19/21
I haven’t watched MSM in years but occasionally catch Tucker and regularly listen to alternative news sources like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Daily Wire, OAN, and Newsmax.

I don't even watch the local propaganda either. As for weather, I have apps for that.

Posted By: 7mmbuster Re: Best Honest.. - 02/20/21
Only by accident when I try to catch the weather. Even in rural Pennsylvania, where 85% of the people support Trump, the local news is biased and inaccurate. Not to mention that they’re still pushing the deaths from the CCP virus.
I may occasionally turn on Carlson or something on newsmax, but I try to deliberately avoid it, because
A. I know that everything I see about the national news is cherrypicked to influence public opinion.
B. A large percentage of it is pure bull.
Unless there’s something locally I’m interested in, I avoid it like the plague.
I read the Campfire on the weekend and I scan Free Republic for stories and articles.

We don't have a TV, since about 1996, don't take a newspaper, since the bird died, and live far enough out of town that we can't hear the town crier (if they still have one). I wouldn't watch sports even if they stopped kneeling, and it is way out of the question for me to fret about what some celebrity calls a calamity.

Breitbart and Whatfinger provide enough amusement for me and they are available on the computer. I will dearly miss Rush for his perspective and sense of humor concerning the happenings of the day. Weather comes from a cell phone nowadays.

Why would we want to hear or watch anything the propaganda machine produces? I guess I'm just not woke enough.
