“Other than for sports, I rarely watch TV anymore, the Internet is my TV.”
Ditto that, although I watch a LOT of sports. This year, I started watching more sports on the net since we got NHL Gamecenter. All my news comes from the internet. What passes for news on TV is only carefully managed propaganda and manipulation. Home movies pretty much come from Netflix now.
One of the best things about the Internet is access to foreign programming....I get TV Polonia, which shows Polish programs, many with English subtitles...I got totally hooked on one series called “Time of Honor” about the Polish underground during WWII.
Regular OTA news no longer news, it is abandoned journalism for puff pieces, graphics that eat up minutes of airtime, hardly any international news, crappy local news if any, fluffy feature emo pieces, weather several times, and a large sports portion, plus nine minutes of commercials. You will never see hard news stories in regular broadcasts anymore. Nobody does hard news. Can’t joke and put your own witty personal opinion quip in on hard news stories.
News broadcasts today are basically now infotainment. ET and The Insider and those crap shows are a level worse and are just half hour advertisements for various movies and crap.
