This is true.
We cancelled TV 2 months ago. I thought I would really miss FNC. I rarely even go to their website and when I do, I already know the important items. The rest is filler.
Drudge, a few blogs, FR, Telegraph, Daily Mail and I even get more than my fill of inconsequential trivia. Rush is there if I need background sound. The markets and weather are available and take a few minutes to digest, with no need for commentary or constant updating. Roku Newscaster has the previous night’s newscast or the entire NBC Sunday news program or various podcasts from any news channel if it is really necessary.
Fox News is just constant fake !ALERTS! designed to keep your adrenaline pumping.
Exactly. You’re better off not watching. Certainly not as background noise, as I did for years, because you are just handing your mind over for them to play with, when you do that. When you read the news, you have a little more control.
