I stopped watching the alphabet networks years ago. Later I dropped local news and Fox.
I dropped cable tv so long ago I can't remember. Have a beautiful 4k Samsung Curved 55" tv on my wall, it's on maybe once a week for about 20 - 30 mins and that's it. Probably just long enough to remind me why I leave it off the rest of the week.
Anyone who watches the "news" is brainwashed. Been that way for decades and decades already.
