I threw the TV out about 10 years ago, the internet is better. I listen to NPR in the mornings, but that is it.

I have boycotted them for the last 4 years.

I never watch TV ....only for the elections.

Luv ya.

I got tired of the sensationalism and non-reporting of the cable news shows, so I cut the cord months ago. I also have never really watched network news. So, basically, I'm boycotting mainstream media and I feel I'm getting much better information from online sources and the BBC.

and hoping for some entertainment. Those sobs, along with cnn and others, I understand, GAVE us trump, 24/7. FUCK them.

I have boycotted network and cable news since November 9. I only watch local news and when they show you-know-who, I switch channels.

Tonight instead of MSNBC, I am watching AGT Christmas special and the Great American Baking Show.

Like many, I am having a hard time

I had severely limited my intake before that, but that was enough for me. I did not finish the night and have never seen the coverage and never will

Nothing useful to be found there.

Who may tell us the truth.

the debates ended. I will not return.

I'd watch a clip posted here but that is it.

you want to send a message stop viewing enmasse. Secondly it might help with recapturing reality.

But I mostly watch OWN and ABC. I record Joy Reid's MSNBC news program on Saturday and Sunday. Very very professional. I just watched Joy Reid on the Internet. She's filling in for Chris Matthews on Hardball. That's the only time, I'm not watching OWN or ABC.

However, on Jan 20, 2017 beginning at 12:01am and ending Jan 21, 2017 at 12:01am I will be going completely silent. All electronic devices will be off. I will not purchase anything, drive or use public transportation.

Due to an accident of geography (the curve of the coastline) we can only get one channel without cable or satellite, and that one very badly.

I'm looking forward o the protest march. I'm paying a friend's way on the charter bus, too.

Movies, books, music, reading. No talking heads, no ads - nope. never again.

I just can't deal with the stress anymore, and I am sick of the dog-pilling that goes on in the media.

I've been listening to NPR about as long, but since Oct., I've only been turning it on at mealtimes to avoid missing anything critical. I object to their normalizing of the tRump and I told them so. Their ombudsperson said she agreed with me.

There's still nothing better than them out there, unfortunately.

Just so exhausted by all the news reports and sources being so clueless and getting everything so wrong. And the drama of it all. The talking heads! My insides were getting so twisted and over-wound into a knot, I had to turn it all off just to get relief!

The only good thing I watched was the Town Hall with Chris Hays and Bernie in Wisconsin. That gave me hope.

I'm planning on being at a demonstration. Either locally or in Washington DC. Don't think I can afford the DC trip though.

It's not like you're going dark. In fact, you will get more news when you seek other options.

So what I'm hearing...

Truck ploughs into Christmas Market in Berlin.
Russian Amabassor shot dead in Turkey.
Ban-Ki-Moon warns of genocide in South Sudan.
President of DR Congo still in power, his last day was 12/19.

Oh, now Donald Trump did win the electoral college... but that's not the big news.

Thank you Auntie Beeb.

Wish I had chosen to not be online tho. Good news is I drank myself into a stupor before nightfall. God speed to all of us. It's gonna be darkest before it dawns.

I can't even stand to see a clip of that face/voice turn up in a comedy show . . . unless it's Alec Baldwin on SNL.

There is no news, just the uber rich propaganda networks.

Now I subscribe to the Guardian and the Washington Post, and I am much better informed than I ever was before.

Done with them all except for my local news on tv. I watched Oprah's interview with Michelle Obama and bawled through it all, knowing that the next "first lady" is a joke. I refuse to listen or watch ANYTHING about the next puke in chief.
