That's not strange. That's normal.
I listen to Rush, drop by Drudge, and this place and that's about as much "news" as I can handle. I already know how the MSM will deliver any item and I can get to their punchline before they do.
Congrats.
I know how difficult it can be to “cut the cord” because I have had to do it several times over the past 3 decades.
The NFL was first (1994), then CNN (1998), then network television (2000), then all newspapers (2001), then all professional sports (NBA, MLB, NHL, ESPN) (2001).
I must admit that it was difficult and I struggled with my compulsion to automatically turn on the TV and flip the channel to either the news, sports or other familiar TV shows, but fought through it and was eventually able to adjust to it. That’s not to say that I don’t occasionally peruse any of those outlets, but only briefly once or twice every couple of weeks only to be reminded why I stopped watching to begin with and then immediately switch to something else or just turn the stupid TV off.
I suggest you remind yourself that TV programming is designed to entertain people to encourage people to tune in for the content and the advertisements. If the content sucks and there are enough people who tune out and turn it off, they will be forced to change the content because advertisers don’t pay for commercials in a channel that nobody is watching. Nobody, except for hostages, is forced to watch a program or commercial that they don’t like. You and I are not hostages and do not need to settle for this shit, so turn it off and don’t watch.
Hang in there and just keep coming back to FR. It has all the breaking news and current events.
Be well, stay strong and keep the faith.
We are not hostages and must refuse to accept this crap. We have a choice. Let’s exercise it.
I only watch O’Reilly and Hannity and Jeanine Pirro on FOX.
I watch FBN but sometimes I turn the channel, RT News now to get broader news instead of just attacks on Trump.
I also get my news from a variety of news talk shows on AM radio and various (actually, a large link list) of websites.
So basically, I am 75% with you, and I think FOX News is really, seriously, hurting their “truth” and “fair and balanced” brand. Most of the anchors, and their “pundits” are nothing but GOPe cheap labor WSJ Chamber of Commerce amnesty open borders toads of a Plutocracy that is increasingly being challenged. I have no doubt, FOX News is going to be seriously damaged with their constant bias against Trump, they are morphing from FOX News to FLOP News.
I have had my eyes really opened in this election cycle, it became clear in the very first Republican nomination debate where the head of FOX New’s was at, and they were on attack against Trump from day one, many of these were and are Jeb Bush toadies, the GOPe was in attack mode the moment Trump said “I will build a wall”.
The GOPe attacks, and it really is the CLINTON-BUSH, BUSH-CLINTON party, will not stop. They will dig up more, some person who will say more things to be used against Trump.
But what is about to happen is, Hillary will appoint 3, maybe even 4, Supreme Court justices, and America is lost. The only agenda will be far left, in fact our hopes and dreams will literally be criminalized. Hillary will bring in 40 million more illegal aliens, simple math, Texas will go from Red to Blue as a result and the Republicans or any party that is American in heart will never be able to win the electoral college for another 100 years.
I am disgusted, sorry to say, with Mormons now. Of course, each Mormon should be seen as an individual. But I will never, never forget these days, and I will never hold them - in a group - worthy of my trust again. Whether they realize it or not, the very idea they would be part of destroying our freedoms and leave our nation in the hands of someone as corrupt and leftist and anti-free speech as Hillary Clinton and the entire package of her toadies, the Mormons as far as I am concerned are permanently damaging their brand in as much as FOX is.
I never want to see Mormons in change of our political offices if there is anything I can do about it. I am disgusted, when I see my freedoms lost I will also blame them.
I lovey love Kat Timpf! She is my favorite millenial (not including my many millenial grandchildren).
You can go forever. They’re Presstitutes. They all are.
Stop listening to them. They only serve their masters, and their masters ain’t you.
You'll be fine, trust me.
I haven't watched Foxnews, or almost any TV, in nearly 3 years.
There is so much content on the internet (Youtube, for example) that Foxnews hasn't been missed at all.
She really cracks me up.
She could have her own show. You know she’s great when we know how to spell her last name! LOL!
I also love Jesse Watters. I try to catch his segments on BOR. He and Dennis Miller are the only ones in BOR I want to see. I tune out BOR for the most part, except for those 2 comic geniuses.
Humor is so appreciated during these past 8 years.
At least 5 years for me
Ain't that the truth?
Where would we be without our funnybone?
You also HAVE TO WATCH Varney he LOVES Trump he is on VERY early pacific time 6:00 am till 9:00 am!!! So Easter would be 9:00 am!!!
I also LOVE OANN!!! Sure wish more cable companies carried them!!!
Some sports...and that's about it.
foolish to jump on a band wagon going to hell
yuppers
Five years - of happiness! Approached by a saleman at a big box selling some tv access,I told him we didn’t even know if our TV’s still worked!
This from a couple that subscribed to five newspapers and and watched tv news daily.
You will be happier!
I stopped listening to all the yammering and yelling many years ago and have not missed it.
I like Stewart Varney too.
Lou Dobbs is my favorite, no contest on that. He’s so great.
