I was “done” with ABC news the minute they hired the little creep.

Pff. I haven’t watched any “talking heads” shows in twenty years.

Total waste of time, and frustrating too.

Great post. We unhooked cable 12 years ago; we have not updated our TV so we cannot even get local channels.

Hulu, Hulu Plus for us. And we simply buy DVDs of the movies and TV shows we want to watch. My son just bought all five seasons of Leverage which we are all enjoying!!

It’s hard to boycott a show I never watch. Quit watching years ago.

Back in the 1980s, I would watch “This Week with David Brinkley.”

Brinkley at least tried to give the appearance of being even-handed.

Then, in the 90s, the media went totally left-wing. No letup, no breaks, no exceptions. Who needs it? They are as predictable as tomorrow’s sunrise. What’s the point? It’s all aimed at low information voter billygoats.

Others will no doubt skewer me if I'm invited to appear on a news program.

In his dreams ...

Lemme get this straight, though: he's boycotting the shows, but not only expects to appear on one, but would actually do it?

Some boycott ...

American TV News is simply Disinfotianment

the media been presenting “news” as entertainment and vice versa for decades....

as you likely know....to enjoy entertainment,....one must suspend ones sense of disbelief.

viola....nbc abc ETC....hitthe political jackpot...

the average viewers wishing to BE entertained suspends their disbelief andare thus primed to gobble up and digest just about.... ANYTHING.

steponwafulstuff is just another jive entertainer

I watched network news with Huntley and Brinkley; Howard K. Smith was one of my favorites. I lost all respect for MSM anchors and news departments after Rathergate. The documents were not forged; they were fabricated which is even worse. A forgery implies the existence of a legitimate original document.

Of course that goes for FOX News...with high frequencies of female anchor thigh display

Jedediah melts me but even she couldn’t keep me tuning in.

I dumped the MSM 10+years ago...talk radio and reading the internet is all is needed. The cable news channels suck hard...MSNBC..FOX..CNN all are worthless.
