My aunt was upset this morning, she says that the media is giving Trump too much credit. She despises the President and says that if Peter Jennings, former ABC anchorman was still alive, the coverage would have been more soothing and she believes that Jennings and ABC would have been more combative towards Trump.
My aunt is very anti-Trump. She served in the U.S. Army. Very, very militaristic and angry woman.
What do you think?
Nice to meet you! We share very similar sentiments and experience with the media.
Additionally, movies and sports are dead to me for the same reasons.
Boy, that’s a weird concoction of votes.
I watch very little network programming. I’m not interested in sports. Don’t even watch the Olympics anymore. SEAL Team is my favorite TV series. I’m watching The Curse of Oak Island at the moment. I record every program I watch on my DVR so I don’t have to watch the commercials, and can fast-thru a program if a scene shows up with homos swapping spits. I don’t even care to watch heterosexual folks making out anymore, so I usually mute them, and fast forward through them. Don’t want my neighbors in the building thinking I’m having an orgasm at my age. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime which I usually watch on the weekends. Got Disney+ and Apple TV free for a year, although I’ve hardly watched anything on them. I download a lot of programs from a couple of British torrent sites. Been doing it for years. I enjoy British mysteries, and their historical documentaries. I also enjoy various foreign dramas and mysteries. Don’t mind having to read the English subs as I watch everything on TV with closed captioned subs anyway. I do a lot of reading, and most times, while I’m watching something on my DVR, I’m also working on my family tree on Ancestry.com.
I think she is crazy but doesn’t everyone have at least one crazy aunt.
I can't believe I'm first!
Woo Hoo!
100% SPOT ON.

Peter Jennings was a corrupt piece of crap. Owning a “Ranch” that “Farmed” government subsidies was a scandal he just walked away from.
It sounds like she is upset because the left doesn’t have a monopoly on news anymore.
Peter Jennings is still dead.
Still waiting for his walls at WKRP.
I think that every time I see a post from you it is actually horse manure.
I stopped watching television programming completely around 1998 or so. The last things I recall watching on any kind of routine were Home Improvement and ER.
Stopped watching television news and reading newspapers before that.
For me, the bottom line is that I feel like I am watching what THEY want me to watch (which is true) and given who THEY are, I don’t see that as a good thing.
I do watch a lot of movies I rent or own, and a lot of YouTube material but I can’t be in a room with a television on watching their program. I have to leave, I find it so off-putting.
I have a degree of contempt for anyone who gets their news from television or newspapers these days.
Or since Gabriel Heatter retired ("There's good news tonight").
Yeah like my eldery sister and her husband still praising Obama and Hillary while they watch the view
My old man called him “Peter Hennie Pennie”.
Why? Not every news outlet is that left. Its local news is the best.
Perhaps in your market they may be different, in my area they are all completely Leftist. Completely.
Damning with faint praise. Since all anchors suck, I guess he sucked the least.
I happen to feel the same way. I can't remember the last time I read a newspaper either. Before I retired in 2003, I used to pick up the New York Post before heading into work, and sometimes I'd access The Washington Times online. I sometimes click on the links in FR threads if I want to read the full article, but so many of them won't let you access their sites unless you turn of your adblocker, which I absolutely refuse to do.
