Yep. Tired of them trying to shame everyone for things they shouldn't be ashamed of. Plus, it's infuriating as well. This right here.

Stopped 30 years ago. Read the conspiracy news and nutjobs. Far more entertaining. Lately they have been more accurate.

I haven't sat and watched a the news for at least 25 years. It got to the point that I just couldn't stand the BS. Some times it comes on after a show that the wife and I watched. It always starts with "First off, breaking new!" If it is a slow night they still do the same introduction, some stupid stuff makes "breaking news."

I turn on the TV to catch the news highlights, in order to stay up to date. It is not in my nature to just sit there staring at the screen - always so many other things that I want to do. Things to make, things to fix, and sometimes things need breaking.
When I really need some downtime, I tend to read - or take the boat out for a moonlight cruise when the lake is quiet.

Cannot remember when I last watched the news. My life is much better without the Man telling me how to feel and act.

I can't stand watching the news anymore. It just undoes everything my blood pressure medication does. It's almost impossible to find a station with "news" people who don't spin things based on their personal views at some point, and their views seldom line up with mine. I just want someone to report the news using just the facts without trying to steer my thought process their way, but that's obviously too much to ask.

I quit local news years ago. If I want the weather, I have an app on my phone. I watch Fox some but it won't but a few years and it will be moved left, its already headed that way.
Thanks, Billy

I can't stand watching the news anymore. It just undoes everything my blood pressure medication does. I’m about there with you, Grizz. Can’t believe where our country has gone. I think I’m about done for a while and just gonna focus on my family, my job, and enjoying life!
