I've been talking to a lot of folks of different political persuasion, but mostly conservatives....and almost all of them are throwing up their hands and they're telling me they're watching Animal Planet or oldie-goldie movies, the History Channel or cooking shows, etc.......anything BUT all the news channels except for a few minutes a day for any breaking news.
I've been doing the same thing. I enjoy the forensic crime and home improvement shows plus the PBC series being run on Queen Victoria and her royal times and troubles....plus, reading and crossword puzzles are a welcome relief to listening to all-day-bad-news.

Count me as one of those countless folks who have abandoned all news outlets. Free Republic is the greatest news aggregator on the planet, and I’m happy to get my news right here.
I’m going against the grain, but I watch a heck of a lot of YouTube videos; mostly film noir, WWII newsreels, and very old car commercials, with some Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs, and Rodney Dangerfield thrown in for good measure. I have an ad blocker, so I don’t have to boycott that which I cannot see.
Hope you’re feeling better, MinuteGal!
