TV news is unwatchable, and pointless. It makes money the same way sitcoms do. They have no goal to inform or educate, they simply want you to watch through the commercial break. The sooner you stop watching that, the happier you’ll be. And then you can use that time to ACTUALLY learn what’s going on.
Which is why I simply DVR any news segment that might be interesting, then watch it slightly later, so I can skip over the commercials.

^^^^^This x a million. Straight to the point.
Other than ME-TV, TCM, and some BBCA, I have given up on network TV.
I have an extensive DVD collection of classic TV. Some of it is ME-TV inspired.
Totally agree. The only time I watch TV news is when something is happening right now and they have a live feed. Otherwise it is a waste of time as you sit passively and take in what they see fit to present, when they see fit, and in the manner they see fit.
“TV news is unwatchable”
Yep.
Cut the cord people.
I ditched cable altogether recently. Sling TV doesn’t work on my TV. Seriously considering yiptv. They carry OANN.
And I can get Special Report on yoo toob without any commercials!
I’ve been clean since 2006.
