Seriously, does anybody here watch the mainstream media?

I haven’t sat with intent to watch ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX or any of the other propaganda outlets in probably two years now.

You can pretty easily find out what is really going down by just finding a few non sponsored information sites on regular YouTube.

I actually tried to sit and watch one of the mainstream propaganda outlets the other day and I was stunned at the bias and outright lies. I think I was able to make it for about ten minutes before bailing.

It’s going to be a great day when traditional network news goes away.

Only when something huge is going on and they’re all reporting generally the same thing. Otherwise no it’s all opinion garbage

I watch our local news and then about one to two minutes worth of Good Morning America before I turn it off in disgust.

I do. It’s good to get into the mind of one’s enemy.

I watch CNN for a few minutes every now and then as a check against my biases

The last time I regularly consumed television news was when Brit Hume hosted Special Report on Fox. I think that was in 2009.

This. I want to know what they are saying. I have liberal family members that just parrot what the MSM. I watch CBS with a critical eye/ear and local Houston news.

The "Moderates" of the OT believe it and take their health advice from it too.

They are on life support, and if JFK does nothing else he should work to put an end to the endless drug commercials and cut off the mainstream media’s money stream. We have become a pill society and really have no idea of the long term ramifications.

My Democrat sister does.
Always has. She's 60+ years old.
Her comment to me when I told her that they can spew lies was "They can't all be wrong"
Nonetheless, you can tell my sister has always been gullible and has been manipulated

The way I see it, if the news is actually important, it'll find me (usually here). I haven't watched since 2020

The way we get news now is different than the past. I can remember watching the news with my grandparents and finding out what was going on in the world. Today, up to the millisecond information is delivered directly to our phones. We joke but tigerdroppings is a great news source. At minimum it breaks news for most of us where we can do further research.

I do watch the 5 and Greg gutfeld daily, though, for entertainment purposes.

NOPE


MSNBC, CNN - It's amazing that these two bashed Trump 24/7 for four years every freaking day with made up lies and bullshite.

77 Million people in America said F$%K you we love Trump.


And they are back bashing him 24/7 with more made up bullshite.

If you don’t randomly tune into MSNBC just to experience that channel while Trump is at the height of his powers you’re not doing life right.

It’s hilarious.

Not for the last 20-25 years. I can't even imagine watching that mindless brainwashing shite. Seeing a 30 second clip on TD here and there is more than enough for me.
