My Dad watches FOX every night to "wind down".

And by "wind down" I mean he watches until he gets so mad that he storms out of the room to go to bed.

I've tried telling him that it isn't the healthiest thing to do, but he is 75 and isn't about to change.

Yeah. I generally watch the ABC Nightly News with the knowledge that it's significantly left biased. Primarily as a news overview.

They're as bad as CNN with the Trump hate.

It's comical how hard they flex.

I’ve been watching NewsNation lately.

I second NewsNation. I don't watch it often but when I want to see some non-local news thats my go-to. Breaking Points on Youtube is also good, but the only drawback (if you want to call it that) is they are only live for a couple hours a day.

I actually noticed, on inauguration day, that they reeled it in big time. And maintained there since.

I guess they have to keep a good working relationship with the powers that be.

News Nation is by far the least biased channel for the news. It's refreshing honestly

I don't have much time to watch but I read articles from all the sites. I like to see how the report on the same topic differently. If something breaking is going on, I'll make a point to turn on the news.

The problem is it's all over dramatic opinion shows on TV. I don't particularly care for that.

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.

Even if I personally hated Trump intensely, I would have voted for Trump for one reason only. Even if I thought my vote for him would hurt the country, I would vote for him just to see the Left melt.

The more upset and unhinged they become, the more euphoric I get. It is my absolute number one source of entertainment by a mile! Better than any book, movie or music. It’s absolutely glorious. When I go on X and watch their melts I actually tear up from pure joy.

I actually still watch a little of Fox

All I know is that Will Cain has brought the podcast long form format to mainstream news and his ratings are through the roof

As for Local News I still enjoy watching

No I don’t watch propaganda.


There is a reason why they pay to be broadcast at every public transportation, hotel lobby etc. It’s not news, it’s thought programming.

I do not watch the mainstream media, and I hope more people will do the same. I totally stopped watching in August 2021 when Biden mandated the Vaxxx to all federal employees. That's when I was done with them. My knowledge of what's really going on has increased dramatically ever since.
