I have not had the TV on in weeks .... for ANYthing. No FOX, no sports ...

If I want news, I get it online where I can pick my sources. Instead of “woke/joke” TV, I listen to podcasts ... if I don’t like an episode, I can mark it played/delete it. Most of what I listen to is “true crime” ... pretty sad when that is less depressing than current TV/news.

It's liberating, isn't it?

If you’re tired of true crime, for the past four years I have been recording a podcast on Southeast Asian history. The latest episode covers how Cambodia got pulled into the Vietnam War.

Same here. When there is a WH press conference or Trump speech, I can easily grab a feed off the web. I watch a little Netflix and AmazonPrime here and there and a lot of YouTube videos - you can really go down a rabbit hole on YouTube but at least you are only watching what you want.

I also watch all my video on my laptop or iPad. When I want to watch something with the wife, it's easy enough to project what's on my laptop to the wall-mounted big screen. But no cable, we've been off of that for three years.

Must also add that the past three months have been among the best of my life. I watch ZERO mainstream media, not even Hannity and Tucker (sorry guys) and I read a lot more books and listen to a lot more music. I have no concern whatsoever with this "chinese virus" that is said to be going around either.
